    The Berlin Airlift started in July 1948 in response to the Soviet Union blocking food deliveries to the western sectors of Berlin. Planes from the U.S., Britain, and France airlifted supplies to the city around the clock. This made the airlift a long-term operation under U.S. General William Tunner. The Berlin Wall was later built in 1961 to stop people from leaving East Berlin for the West. It was torn down in 1989 after political reforms. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1962 when the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba, escalating tensions until an agreement was reached to remove the missiles.
