What is your most memorable experience? I was in kindergarten and it was all over in the paper.

How old were you? 6

 

 

What were you thinking about? President Kennedy was the head honcho…so he was like a hero

 

Were you scared? When we were in school we would have to go in the hall and site by the wall with our head between our knees just incase there was an attack.

Was the war on the news a lot? All the time

 

 

What was living like? for a while it was tense…but other than that… it wasn’t much different.

THE STORY BEHIND THE BERLIN AIRLIFT

 

 

 

After the war Germany was divided into three parts, The Allied part was controlled by the U.S. Great Britain and France. The other part was controlled by the Soviet Union. The city of Berlin was located on the east side, or the soviet side but was also divided into sections. West Berlin belonged to the Allies and East Berlin belonged to the Soviets. In 1948, the Soviets tried to take the western half of Berlin by sort of blockading it. They cut off all in and out traffic which shut down the business and was starving the people. President Truman reacted to this by simply flying goods into Western Berlin. Soon after the blockade was lifted.

THE KOREAN WAR

 

 

On June 25, 1950, the Cold War suddenly escalated. Within only a few days North Korea’s invasion of South Korea brought on the United Nations “police action”. This caused immediate U.S. military and navy involvement. At first this was thought to be an easy task and no one had guessed that this war would last 3 years.

During the summer of 1950, the U.S. and other Nations fought vigorously to keep North Koreas fast paced army under control. On and on went the fighting but with no one really gaining or loosing any territory. Finally, three years later, in 1953 Negotiations ended and so did the fighting.
