@historyproductions.v2: People were already thinking that World War III would break out in Berlin 💀 The initial event marking the onset of global tensions in the Cold War era was the Berlin Crisis of 1948, which culminated in the Berlin Blockade by the Soviet Union, this was followed by the Checkpoint Charlie confrontation—the second Berlin crisis—in 1961. While the first crisis represented a Soviet attempt to drive out the West by cutting off economic supply lines, the second crisis was an effort by the Soviet Union and East Germany to halt the loss of human resources through physical restrictions (a border wall). #coldwar #History #HistoryTime #berlin #fyp
