The Berlin Crisis

Abstract

rpHE Berlin crisis can lead towards disastrous consequences not only for the people living in the city of Berlin but for the whole of Europe and other parts of the World. The existence of a free Berlin, as a noncommunist island within theRed Sea, i.e. the Communist dominatedEastern Germany, is a thing which the Communists do not like. For, its existence makes it possible for people to compare the position in one part of the City with the other. Within its boundaries not only people from both parts of the country meet each other, but can also compare what is being done to raise their standard of living. For example, in West Berlin the divided capital of a divided countrywe have been able to rebuild the city from a desert of rubble and ruins, making it a small flourishing centre of economic and cultural life.
