History

Answer:

After 15 months and more than 250,000 flights, the Berlin Airlift officially comes to an end. The airlift was one of the greatest logistical feats in modern history and was one of the crucial events of the early Cold War.In June 1948, the Soviet Union suddenly blocked all ground traffic into West Berlin, which was located entirely within the Russian zone of occupation in Germany. It was an obvious effort to force the United States, Great Britain, and France (the other occupying powers in Germany) to accept Soviet demands concerning the postwar fate of Germany. As a result of the Soviet blockade, the people of West Berlin were left without food, clothing, or medical supplies. Some U.S. officials pushed for an aggressive response to the Soviet provocation, but cooler heads prevailed and a plan for an airlift of supplies to West Berlin was developed. It was a daunting task: supplying the daily wants and needs of so many civilians would require tons of food and other goods each and every day. On June 26, 1948, the Berlin Airlift began with U.S. pilots and planes carrying the lion’s share of the burden. During the next 15 months, 277,264 aircraft landed in West Berlin bringing over 2 million tons of supplies. On September 30, 1949, the last plane–an American C-54–landed in Berlin and unloaded over two tons of coal. Even though the Soviet blockade officially ended in May 1949, it took several more months for the West Berlin economy to recover and the necessary stockpiles of food, medicine, and fuel to be replenished.

Why did europeans believe that imperial conquest was the right thing to do?
maxonik [38]

The three G's, God, Glory, and Gold. They could spread their beliefs and society (God) to whomever they encountered, making them "less savage," they would gain glory just for conquering new lands and expanding their empires, and they could achieve riches by taking the lands they found for their own personal use and resource collection.

Why did the north have a stronger economy during the civil was than the south
Paraphin [41]
The North had a heavily industrialized economy while the South's economy was still mainly cash crop exports such as cotton. So when the Civil War broke out the North already had the means of production and the production capacity to make arms and supplies for their troops as well as deliver the supplies to the troops in a speedy manner via the North's extensive railways. Now the South basically had to build its production facility for its war efforts because it had an almost non-existent industrial capacity making it severely lag behind the North in its abiity to supply its troops. Also before the Civil War broke out the US had a lot of pro-industrial tariffs in place which made the Northern states generally wealthier the the Southern states.
