Berlin Airlift and Candy Bomber- 2/2

Took notes on Berlin Airlift--Here's some of what we talked about.
( During WWII (1945), the Soviet, American, and British leaders gathered together. This was known as the Potsdam Conference. Two main points were discussed. These points were Japan's unconditional surrender and the division of Germany and Berlin. Four zones were created in both Germany and Berlin. The British, French, Americans, and Soviets each got a zone. In 1947, the Truman Doctrine was created. It offered money to countries under communist attack. In addition, the Marshall Plan was implemented. It offered aid to repair countries that had been affected by WWII. East Germany (Soviet zone) refused the aid. Meanwhile, the British, French, and Americans decided that combining their zones of control would be a good idea. It would help Germany's economy become stronger. Since Berlin was split into zones and was located within East Germany, the Soviets decided to change the other countries' minds. This begins the Berlin Blockade (June 1948-May 1949). W. Berlin becomes closed off . Nothing is going in! The Berlin Airlift lasts for 324 days. The Soviets decide to quit blocking the railways and roads because this action makes them look like a bully.)
*I would encourage you to ask others to see their notes.*
