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.
