The Berlin airlift was a series of "ights to Western
Berlin to supply the civilians with necessities.
Western Berlin (non-soviet) was cut off from all
supplies after the erection of the Berlin Wall. The
Berlin Airlift was used instead of military force
because we didn’t want to enter another war. The
airlift lasted 11 months while the Berlin wall was
up and four months after it was destroyed.

China turns communist when Mao
Zedong leads a violent revolution
against the Chinese Nationalist Party.
Mao quickly tries to industrialize
China by sending able-men to work
on country projects. His policies were
very radical and some of them deadly;
He ordered executions of people such
as landlords and
counterrevolutionaries. China going
communist causes fear in America
during the Cold War.
