Two Problems Faced By The United States During The Cold War
Following WW2, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a conflict that became known as the Cold War. There were many conflicts between these two countries. Two problems faced by the United States during the Cold War is the Berlin Blockade and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States took actions against these two problems and which one of them is known as the Berlin Airlift which is a combat against the Berlin Blockade. The United States was successful in solving these two problems. One problem faced by the United States during the Cold War is the Berlin Blockade. The Berlin Blockade was an attempt in 1948 by the Soviet Union to limit the ability of France, Great Britain and the United States to travel to their sectors
of Berlin, which lay within Russian-occupied East Germany. The Berlin Blockade took place because the Soviets opposed the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Federal Republic of Germany was formed because the three western powers (the United States, France and Great Britain decided to unify their zones without the Soviet zone as these three countries were unable to reach agreement with the Soviet Union over the eventual unification of Germany, The blockade was a blockade in which the Soviets had cut off all access to West Berlin- cutting off the land and canal supply routes to the western part of the city. One action taken by these three countries in response to the problem is known as the Berlin Airlift, the Berlin Airlift is a military operation by the United States, Great Britain and other western European nations to take food, fuel and other vital provisions into West Berlin by air. In response to the Berlin Airlift, the Soviets recognized their defeat in the area and ended the blockade alms a year later on May 12, 1949. This shows that the three countries which includes the United States was successful in solving their problem. In addition, another problem faced by the United States is called the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis (Oct 14, 1962-Oct 28, 1962) was a 13 day political and military stand-off between the United States and the Soviet Union over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles in Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis led to a conflict between the United states and the Soviet Union because of the fact that many people feared that the world was on the brink of nuclear war. One action taken by the United States in response to this problem was an agreement the United States made with the Soviet Union. The United States agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the United States promising not to invade Cuba. This action is highly successful in solving the Cuban Missile Crisis. This shows that the United States was successful in solving their problem. To sum up, the United States was successful with the Berlin Blockade and the Cuban Missile Criss. The United States was successful with the Berlin Blockade with the Berlin Airlift.
