How did the us help with the soviet union blockade Berlin?
The two western powers flew supplies over the blockade into West Berlin. This act is commonly called the BERLIN AIRLIFT. The Soviet Union revered policy after a year when the Soviets ended the blockade and pemited land-transport of goods to West Berlin.
The soviets response to the containment policy of Truman's adminstration was the Berlin blockade imposed by Stalin in 1948 What was this blockade?
Stalin imposed a blockade on Berlin for 11 months in an attempt to drive the Western Powers control out of West Berlin. As Berlin was in the Soviet bloc of Germany, he closed off all access to West Berlin so no resources could get through. this included food, coal for electricity etc.. The West Powers did not allow this to stop them and used the three air corridors, which they were still able to use, to supply West Berlin will all it needed. It was a massive airlift with planes flying into West Berlin constantly. After 11 months, Stalin saw that the Western Powers were not budging and ended the blockade. hope that helps!
Explain why airlift was used during the Soviet blockade of Berlin rather than the other options available to national leaders?
The obvious other options were: 1. War between the West and the Soviet Union. 2. A negotiated settlement, which would probably have involved swapping West Berlin for a part of the Soviet Zone, say Thuringia. Neither option was attractive.
Why was berlin divided into 4 zones?
The city of Berlin was in the middle of the Soviet zone. The Soviet zone is the part of German that ended up becoming Communist East Germany. But then in the city of Berlin you had occupation as well except in the city they were called 'sectors'. And just like the Soviet zone, the Soviet sector of Berlin ended becoming East Germany (the capitol, in fact). However the American, British and French sectors in the west part of the city stayed 'free' after the whole Berlin Blockade/Airlift debacle of 1948 and ended up a part of West Germany, although the capitol was moved to Bonn, and Berlin always had special legal and political status applied.

The Berlin blockade and resulting airlift effectively ended the unity of the Allied Powers. The Soviet Union was now opposed to the involvement of its western partners in East Germany. The threat of war lingered and began what would become known as the Cold War.

What city in europe was blockaded following World War 2?
In 1948-49, Berlin was famously blockaded by the Soviet Union.After World War II ended, the four major Allied powers (the Soviet Union, USA, UK, and France) divided up Germany to control it in the aftermath of the Nazi regime. Likewise, Berlin was divided between the same four countries. Later, in 1949, the French, American, and British parts of Germany were merged together and became the Federal Republic of Germany, more commonly known as West Germany (for simplicity's sake, I shall refer to it as West Germany even though it technically didn't exist yet).The same sectors of Berlin also merged to become West Berlin. However, Berlin, including West Berlin, lay almost dead center in the middle of the Soviet-controlled portion of Germany- which would eventually become the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany.However, almost immediately after Germany surrendered, the Soviets and the other Allies began to distrust each other. Only a few special highways, trains, and waterways were allowed to bring people from West Germany to West Berlin. For complicated reasons I won't get into here, in 1948, the Soviets cut off those ways of traveling, blockading the city. They attempted to starve West Berlin into surrendering and joining the Soviet side.The blockade was foiled when the Western Allies used airplanes to bring supplies to West Berlin- this became known as the Berlin Airlift. If the Soviets had shot down the supply planes, they would have caused World War III to begin, so they wisely decided not to do so. World War II had just ended, and everyone was still recovering from the destruction of that war.In summer 1949, almost a year after the blockade began, the Soviets finally ended the blockade.
What two events ended the cold war and when did they happen?
The tearing down of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.
