Which of the following statements describes how the crisis in berlin in 1948–1949 was concluded? berlin was united and made a part of east germany. the west built a wall to keep the two parts of the city separate. the blockade was lifted, and berlin remained divided. the united states withdrew its forces from west berlin.

The correct answer is: "the blockade was lifted, and Berlin remained divided".

After WWII, Berlin was divided in four occupation zones (exactly the the same division pattern that had been applied to the country as a whole) and each was controlled by one of the victorious allied countries: US, UK, France and URSS. The parts of the city controlled by US, UK and France were unified and constituted West Berlin. Moreover, Berlin was embodied within the Soviet occupation zone that had become a communist republic known as the German Democratic Republic. Therefore, capitalist West Berlin was located inside a communist Republic.

The Berlin Blockade was an international crisis from the Cold War era (that confronted the Eastern bloc of communist countries leaded by the URSS and the Western bloc of capitalist nations under the influence of the US) The blockade started in 1948 and lasted almost a year. The URSS blocked all the ground means of transports that the Western allied countries could use to reach West Berlin so they organized the the Berlin airlift to carry supplies by plane.

The blockade was finally lifted but Germany would remain divided until 1898 (fall of the Berlin Wall).

it was on the rise and doing very well and would continue to do well until the great depression from 1929-1939
