the western allies(including America)could have reached Berlin before Russia,but they feared that the resistance they would have met by the German army would have caused catastrophic losses on there side..its hard to give an answer to your question to 'what would have happened'.the cold war would have still happened and i think that had the western allies assaulted Berlin first,the war would have gone on for longer.the battle for Berlin required sacrafice,and the western allies(including soldiers,army command,governments and the people of western countries)do not like to sacrafice lives,but the Russians did not think much of it.the German army unleashed unthinkable horrors in russia,so to assault Berlin was revenge for them.a revenge that would last more than 50 years till the Berlin Wall came down.all thanks to a man named adolf Hitler.

What effect did the D-Day have on World War 2?

It sped things up in Europe; it was really a race between the Soviets (Russians) and the Western Allies, on who could beat whom into Berlin first. The Germans greatly wanted to surrender to the Western Allies, not the Soviets! Had the US/British not reached Berlin when they did, the Soviets (Russians) would have taken over ALL of Berlin, instead of just EAST Berlin.


How did the Allies get supplies to west Berlin?

Allies had to air lift supplies into West Berlin because the USSR had all roads blockaded. The eastern part of the city was under the control of the USSR, and the western region was under the control of the allies. The USSR hoped that by shutting off all routes, the allies would turn total control of Berlin over to them.


Why did Stalin block Berlin?

Stalin started the Berlin Blockade in 1948 as a first step in a plan to pull West Germany into the Soviet sphere of influence. He expected West Berlin to eventually begin accepting supplies from Soviet East Germany, effectively bringing all of Berlin under Soviet control. He believed that if he could control Berlin, West Germany would soon follow.


Why did the Germans think they would win the war at the beginning of 1918?

Because Russia was out of it, the French were becoming demoralised, and the Americans were not yet fully deployed. In fact, Ludendorff's Easter campaign almost reached Paris (2nd Battle of the Marne), before it ran out of steam. After that, there was more revolutionary talk in Berlin, and the Germans never made another big offensive on the Western Front, although they were still on French soil at the time of the Armistice. (This helped Hitler's propaganda.)


With Germany being the main aggressor during world war 2 in Europe and Hitler leading the way for the Germans do you think world war 2 would have been as severe or even happened at all if Hitler had n?

the war would have happened, but it would have been way different (i believe) because japan was the one who started with it, not germany, so japan would have started a big war, but not as big as it was because of germany. and it would probably have ended before.

What happened during the Berlin aircraft?

Right near the end of the war with Germany, the Russian army slipped into part of Berlin, thinking that this would be a real prize for them. They were thwarted by the Allies, so they simply surrounded Berlin to prevent food and supplies from getting to its people. So the Allies, largely the US, started the Berlin airlift to fly food and supplies in to Berlin's people.
