Cold War1948Soviets blockade West BerlinShare this:<span>facebooktwittergoogle+</span><span>PRINT CITE</span><span>One of the most dramatic standoffs in the history of the Cold War begins as the Soviet Union blocks all road and rail traffic to and from West Berlin. The blockade turned out to be a terrible diplomatic move by the Soviets, while the United States emerged from the confrontation with renewed purpose and confidence.Following World War II, Germany was divided into occupation zones. The United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and, eventually, France, were given specific zones to occupy in which they were to accept the surrender of Nazi forces and restore order. The Soviet Union occupied most of eastern Germany, while the other Allied nations occupied western Germany. The German capital of Berlin was similarly divided into four zones of occupation. Almost immediately, differences between the United States and the Soviet Union surfaced. The Soviets sought huge reparations from Germany in the form of money, industrial equipment, and resources. The Russians also made it clear that they desired a neutral and disarmed Germany. The United States saw things in quite a different way. American officials believed that the economic recovery of Western Europe was dependent on a strong, reunified Germany. They also felt that only a rearmed Germany could stand as a bulwark against Soviet expansion into Western Europe. In May 1946, the Americans stopped reparations shipments from their zone to the Soviets. In December, the British and Americans combined their zones; the French joined some months later. The Soviets viewed these actions as a threat and issued more demands for a say in the economic future of Germany. On June 22, 1948, negotiations between the Soviets, Americans, and British broke down. On June 24, Soviet forces blocked the roads and railroad lines into West Berlin.American officials were furious, and some in the administration of President Harry S. Truman argued that the time for diplomacy with the Soviets was over. For a few tense days, the world waited to see whether the United States and Soviet Union would come to blows. In West Berlin, panic began to set in as its population worried about shortages of food, water, and medical aid. The United States response came just two days after the Soviets began their blockade. A massive airlift of supplies into West Berlin was undertaken in what was to become one of the greatest logistical efforts in history. For the Soviets, the escapade quickly became a diplomatic embarrassment. Russia looked like an international bully that was trying to starve men, women, and children into submission. And the successful American airlift merely served to accentuate the technological superiority of the United States over the Soviet Union. On May 12, 1949, the Soviets officially ended the blockade.

Answer: "No man's land."
Context/explanation:
Trench warfare in World War I was miserable and gruesome. The armies had dug into trenches across from one another, and any attempts to rush out and attack the other side usually meant getting mowed down by machine gun fire. You might want to check out <em>All Quiet on the Western Front</em> by Erich Maria Remarque (1929) for first-hand descriptions of the misery of the trench warfare.
The term "no man's land" meant that the area between the safety of the opposing trenches was no place to be. You were likely to get slaughtered if you ventured out there.
- <em>A sidenote for sports fans: If you're a tennis player, the term "no man's land" is used also in tennis, a throwback to the terminology of World War I. A tennis player wants to be hitting ground strokes from the back of the court, or else be all the way up at net to hit volleys while at net. If a player gets caught in the middle of his side of the courr -- "no man's land" -- his opponent will hit the ball right at his feet and make it impossible for him to hit a return. </em>
The Supreme Court decision in McCulloch v. Maryland is to STRENGTHENED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER THE ECONOMY.

The Truman Doctrine definitely represents the policy of containment. Containment is the idea that America wants to stop the spread of communism to other nations. America is fearful that if they fail to stop communism from spreading to one country, that it will lead to several countries becoming communist (known as the domino effect).
In order to stop the spread of communism, the US government tries to give financial assistance to countries that are susceptible to falling under Soviet control. Two of these countries in particular are Turkey and Greece (due to their geographical location near the Soviet Union). This is why President Harry Truman proposes $400 million worth of aid to these countries, so that they may stabilize their economy and become allies with the United States. This shows containment, as without these funds the countries could have very well been taken over by the Soviet Union and the system of communism.
