In 1948, the United States, Great Britain, and France united their separate zones of the city into one single entity in West Germany, called the Federal Republic of Germany. Following a disagreement on currency reforms, the Soviet Union responded by blockading the western area of the city of Berlin. Since the city was surrounded by the rest of Soviet-controlled East Germany, the Soviets were able to successfully cut off their supplies. The rest of the Allies quickly retaliated with what became known as the Berlin Airlift, so named because they used planes to continue supplying their areas of the city with necessary materials. In May of 1949, the Soviets ended the blockade, but with Cold War tensions running high between the years of 1949 and 1961, nearly 2.5 million East Germans fled from East to West Germany through Berlin. Since many of these people were skilled laborers, professionals, and intellectuals, the East German economy suffered a great deal.

After this, East German citizens were forbidden to pass into West Berlin. On the 15th of August, the barbed wire was stripped away and replaced with concrete. When the Berlin Wall was completed, it
