Detailed explanation-1: -The Berlin Airlift lasted a little under a year, from June 24, 1948, until the Soviets lifted the blockade on May 12, 1949. The outcome of the airlift was the creation of East and West Germany as nations, the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and the ongoing struggle between communism and capitalism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The State Department proposed the policy of containment, known as the Truman Doctrine. In places where communism threatened to expand, American aid might prevent a takeover. This policy enabled the United States to contain communism within its current borders. The war left most of Western Europe in dire need.
Detailed explanation-3: -This aid provided much needed capital and materials that enabled Europeans to rebuild the continent’s economy. For the United States, the Marshall Plan provided markets for American goods, created reliable trading partners, and supported the development of stable democratic governments in Western Europe.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Marshall Plan was designed to prevent the further advancement of Soviet power in Europe. If the U.S.S.R. was allowed to extend its influence into Western Europe, then only the Atlantic would stand between it and the United States.
