Berlin Blockade
Berlin Blockade
①In June 1948, the Russians suddenly cut off Western routes to the jointly occupied city of Berlin, located well inside the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany.
②This move was caused by the merging of the three Western-occupied zones of Germany and the currency reform by the three western powers.
③In order to control inflation in their unified zone, the three powers decided to introduce a new Mark which would also be used in West Berlin.
④The Soviet Union, fearing that this measure might affect the economic situation in its occupied zone, objected.
⑤When the West rejected the Soviet objection, the Soviet Union took this drastic move, which came to be known as the Berlin Blockade.
