Show Notes
On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union placed a blockade on Berlin's American, British, and French-occupied zones.
No food, fuel, or supplies could enter the area known as West Berlin.
Many people thought that either the allies would have to capitulate or engage in an armed conflict. However, the Americans and British eventually figured out another way around the blockade.
Learn more about the Berlin Airlift and how it shaped post-war Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
