The Cold War tensions between Soviet Union and Western powers increased due to the German problem. After World War II, Germany was put under the occupancy of the victorious allies. It was divided into East and West Germany. East Germany was under Russian control. So the Russian President Stalin blocked Berlin and cut off all land and sea contacts between West Germany and Berlin. The Berlin Blockade was not a complete blockade as it allowed permitted access and exit through three air corridors. The Blockade was withdrawn after eleven months. This was the first Berlin crisis. America started anti-communist propaganda all over the world.
