That Taylor University THESE ALUMNI HAVE I A look at the record of Alumni giving as depicted on these pages may lead to either optimism or pessimism. It is en­ couraging to note the generous response of the classes of the past few years, but the record of the older graduates is not es­ pecially inspiring. Perhaps it is because the more recent grad­ uates have been on the campus and have seen the progress that has been made.

I PREFACE Ma]or Economic Changes in 1948 is the third of a series of reports dealing with world economic conditions, prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs of the United Nations. The first, Economic Report: Salient Features of the World Economic Situation 1945-47, was issued in January 1948; a supple- ment to that report, Selected World Economic Indices, was issued in July 1948. The purpose of the present publication is to make generally available a preliminary review of important economic developments which occurred during 1948. It is being issued at this time in order to provide the Economic and Social Council with a useful factual background for discussion of the current world economic situation at its eighth session in February 1949. A comprehensive economic survey of the world situation will be issued towards the middle of 1949. That survey will take account both of the regional economic reports which will become available during the early months of 1949 from the secre- tariats of the regional economic commissions of the United Nations in Europe, Latin America and the Far East, and of the economic activities of the specialized agencies. Part I of Major Economic Changes in 1948 provides a broad picture of the main economic develop- ments during the year 1948, based on data, necessarily incomplete for the year, which were available at the time the report was prepared.

  • The Berlin Airlift's Quest to Beat the Blockade Victor Xie Senior D
    Breaking Barriers to Provide Food, Freedom, and a Future: The Berlin Airlift’s Quest to Beat the Blockade Victor Xie Senior Division Historical Paper Paper Length: 2500 words Thesis The legendary Berlin Airlift was a Herculean attempt to save the city from a Soviet takeover. On June 24, 1948, the Soviets implemented a massive blockade around West Berlin to cut it off from vital food and supplies (see Appendix A).1 Two days later, General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. military governor of Germany, launched a humanitarian airlift known as “Operation Vittles” to rescue the city from starvation.2 U.S. President Harry S. Truman granted the airlift his full support, declaring, “We stay in Berlin, period.”3 Alongside the main operation, the Candy Bomber would carry out this decree in a manner that hoped to raise the city’s spirits. Initially, both Americans and Soviets expressed doubt that the aerial operation could feed 2.5 million Berliners for more than a few days.4 However, against all odds, the airlift overcame difficulties in logistics, Soviet harassment, and animosities between Americans and Germans to break the barrier of the blockade. The Barrier Emerges Post-World War II (WWII) negotiations established the Allied occupation of Germany. Ravaged by warfare and Nazi purges, Germany lacked functioning infrastructure, agricultural 1 Avi Shlaim, The United States and the Berlin Blockade, 1948-1949: A Study in Crisis Decision-Making (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1983), 161-162. 2 Michael D.

  • Write a Narrative Account Analysing the Key Events of the Berlin Crisis, 1948–49 You May Use the Following in Your Answer: ● Stalin’S Fears ● the Airlift
    Write a narrative account analysing the key events of the Berlin Crisis, 1948–49 You may use the following in your answer: ● Stalin’s fears ● the Airlift. You must also use information of your own. (8 marks) In 1948 the Soviet leader, Stalin, became worried that the Soviet-occupied sector in East Berlin was being threatened by the actions of the Western powers. He was particularly concerned that the economic help being given to Western Germany such the Marshall Plan and the creation of Trizonia would be a threat to Soviet control. Stalin felt particularly threatened by the introduction of a new currency in Trizonia (the Deutschmark) in June 1948. As a direct response, on June 15 1948, the USSR sealed off land and supply routes to West Berlin in an attempt to force the West stop their economic aid and perhaps even handover West Berlin. This became known as the Berlin Blockade. However, in response to this the USA and Britain launched what became known as the Berlin Airlift. During the crisis planes delivering food and fuel landed in Berlin every minute to provide West Berliners with goods being blockaded. Stalin hoped that the USA and Britain might abandon the Airlift during the winter of 1948/49 but the pilots continued their dangerous mission. The Airlift continued for almost a year until June 1949 when its success led to the USSR abandoning the Blockade. Only 2% of West Berliners had moved to the East. As a result of the crisis West Berlin became seen as an important symbol of western power and influence and it encouraged the Western powers to consider supporting western Germany as an independent state.

    Note from the United States to the Soviet Union (6 July 1948) Caption: Two weeks after the start of the Berlin Blockade by the Soviet Union on 24 June 1948, the United States sends a note to the Soviet Government expressing its resolve not to abandon the people of Berlin in the face of Soviet pressure. Source: Department of State (Ed.). A Decade of American Foreign Policy, Basic Documents 1941-1949. Washington: Department of State Printing Office, 1985. 969 p. ISBN 0403000084. p. 934-936.

The United States Government regards these measures of blockade as a clear violation of existing agreements concerning the administration of Berlin by the four occupying powers. The rights of the United States as a joint occupying power in Berlin derive from the total defeat and unconditional surrender of Germany. The international agreements undertaken in connection therewith by the Governments of the United States, United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union defined the zones in Germany and sectors in Berlin which are occupied by these powers.

DOI: 10.1177/0022009408089031 Moshe Naor Israel’s 1948 War of Independence as a Total War The 1948 Israeli-Arab War is described in most research as a military conflict that began between two national entities in Palestine, and developed into a regular war between armies. This general description of the war presents a periodization with two main stages of fighting.1 The first stage is described as an inter-communal confrontation, or as a civil war that took place between the Jewish community (Yishuv) and Palestinian society that began at the end of November 1947 and lasted until the close of the British Mandate and the establishment of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948. The second stage of the war relates to the period beginning with the invasion of regular Arab armies on 15 May 1948 and the military confrontation that continued, with various cease-fires, until the signing of the last armistice agreement in July 1949.
