Beginning on October 27, American and Soviet forces faced off at âCheckpoint Charlie,â an access point controlling passage across the wall. The Berlin Crisis was eventually resolved when the United States acquiesced to the wallâs construction in November 1961.
The Berlin Airlift could be called the first battle of the Cold War. It was when western countries delivered much needed food and supplies to the city of Berlin through the air because all other routes were blocked by the Soviet Union.After World War II. After the airlift Germany was split into two separate countries, the German Democratic Republic in the east (controlled by the Soviet Union) and the Federal Republic of Germany in the west. 2  The city of Berlin was also divided in half, with East Germany eventually building the Berlin Wall to keep people from defecting.
