The Targeted Berlin

Wow, where to begin?! The Cold War was THE war of tensions, no doubt. From the years of 1945 through 1963, war tensions were at their highest between the United States and the U.S.S.R. These two former allies were doing everything they could to threaten each other! One threat that was actually acted out was Berlin, Germany. Berlin is the capitol of Germany that would be the drawing line between East and West Berlin. Britain and the U.S. have been trying to "fix" Western Germany constantly after WWII in order to restore a fair nation, but Stalin of the U.S.S.R. saw this as a direct attack. On June 24, 1948, Soviet soldiers spill into Berlin, attempting to make them surrender. After 318 days, America establishes the Berlin Airlift, supplying fresh food and supplies to citizens of West Berlin. Stalin not wanting a hot war, did not shoot down American planes and admitted defeat. After Berlin, comes the Korean War. This is where the war actually gets a little bloody. The Korean War was a result of communism.
