A. The Berlin Airlift
The Soviets couldn't counter it ,so they eventually gave up and reunited Berlin.
Governments typically had been either unitary or confederated. Or another way to say that is that they either focused on centralized power (in someone like a king) or particularized power -- the power in the parts of a kingdom rather than at the center.
So, for instance, in France (prior to its Revolution), all the power in the kingdom centered in the hands of the king. For 175 years, they didn't even have a meeting of the Estates General which was their version of a representative body. And the power of nobles on their lands was reduced while the king's power grew.
Meanwhile, in the German territories, there was a loose confederation called the Holy Roman Empire. One of the kings or princes held the title of "emperor," but he really had no imperial power. The confederated German states retained control over their own kingdoms or territories.
The American experiment mixed something of the best of both approaches. There would be strong central power in the federal government, but putting checks and balances on that power by retaining certain aspects of control in the hands of the states within the union.
<span>Prince Henry's exploration of the coast of Africa resulted in large contributions by the government. As a result of his navigation's, an institute sponsored by the government was established.This institute was used to store books and charts of previous ventures as well as house a school where contemporary travelers could study provide reports on their journeys.
Another of prince Henry's greatest accomplishments from his navigation was the establishment and foundation of the Portuguese empire. This resulted in a large contribution to the effort to avoid trade routes controlled by Muslims in Eastern Africa and the Middle East.</span>
The Santa Fe trail started in Independence, Missouri and ended in Santa Fe, New Mexico (hence the name, Santa Fe). Hope this helped!
