Answer & Explanation:  The Berlin Blockade occurred between June 1948 to May 1949 which was characterized by the restriction of supplies to the U.S, Britain and French sectors of Berlin which coincidentally was situated within East Germany occupied by the Soviet Union. Railways, roads, canals etc. were blocked leaving millions of civilians without basic amenities.

In response to the Berlin Blockade of the period, the Western Allies arranged what was termed the Berlin Airlift which lasted nearly a year with the aim of bringing essential, vital supplies to the massive population of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city's population.

The blockage and the airlift response thus represented the very first major conflict of the Cold War era.

Example of the unequal application :

Furman was sentenced to death penalty because he killed someone during an attempted robbery.  But criminals who convicted with the same charge in California at that time was punished with 25 years of prison time. Not death penalty.

Why do you think the persians allowed the people they conqured to gonvern themself?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The Persians followed a monotheistic religion called Zoroastrianism, which recognized only a single deity named Ahura Mazda. Based on the teachings of the Persian prophet Zoroaster, this was the official religion of the Persian Empire, although conquered peoples were allowed to practice their own religions.  They treat them well. They allowed them to keep their religion and customs instead of forcing them to adapt to Persian ways. ... They could let people know about problems or thing they had to do.
