What are some of the necessities of life that were shipped to West Berlin during the height of the Berlin Blockade?

bearhunter [10]

That is a tough question: West Germany and Berlin, the Soviets declared the new currency void in the eastern partition under their control. Days later, the Soviet government closed supply lines to West Berlin. The United States Air Force and the British Royal Air Force organized a massive effort to deliver needed food, coal, and medical supplies into Berlin to thwart the Soviet blockade. The round-the-clock operation, which became known as the Berlin Airlift, sustained the residents of West Berlin for over a year, and secured the freedom of West Berlin from Soviet control.<span>

The Articles of Confederation had a Weak ___________ government

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{Central}}$

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the newly formed country of the USA's government set. It was mainly written by John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware. It placed 13 laws that controlled state and country governments.

However, these laws put main power on the state governments while giving the central government almost none. This was due to the fact that they had just gone through a revolution against Britain, and they were controlled by a monarchy. The Americans were afraid that with a strong central government, it would become a monarchy just like Britain. They wanted to avoid this due to the taxes that a monarchy placed on them.

This led to a weak central government which caused all the states to act as independent countries. It also lead to different currencies in each state, which was a problem for farmers, as they couldn't pay their debts from money earned in the war.

Farmers were sometimes put in prison for not paying their debts, and they lost their farms. This caused Shays Rebellion, which called for a new system where the central government had more power.

This system was revised into the Constitution we have today.

Hope this helped!
