Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Warsaw Pact

The Warsaw Pact was created in response to the military pact of NATO, in which the USSR & her satellite countries would come to each others aid if they were attacked. The Communist version of NATO.

B. Containment

The containment of communism was seen through the eyes of Truman, as he saw the need to stop communism from spreading. Ways to do this was to logisitically, militarily, and economically help nations that did not fall under communist influence in order to contain the spread. The US also militarily intervened on a number of occassions by providing weapons, resources, and even soldiers to fight off communist forces.

C. Berlin Airlift

The Berlin Airlift was started to feed the West Berliners after the USSR cut off supply routes there in an effort to make the Western countries give up on their share of Berlin, as well as all of Germany. However, the Berlin Airlift was implemented to deliver large amounts of food, supplies, and even gifts. It was so successful that the USSR lifted the blockade in defeat.

D. NATO

NATO was formed by the Western Nations (& some Asian countries) and was an agreement to come to each other's aid when the need arises.

E. Iron Curtain

The Iron Curtain was used to describe the difference between Eastern Europe & Western Europe, in which both sides was not, in a easy manner, able to access each other. The Berlin Wall also helped build up this belief of the Iron Curtain.

F. Eastern Bloc

The Eastern Bloc was used to describe the USSR & her allies, as most of them (with a few exceptions, such as Cuba) were located in the eastern-hemisphere of the world.

H. Western Bloc

Contrary to the Eastern Bloc, where most of the US allies were located in the Western Hemisphere (with a few exceptions, such as Formosa (now known as Taiwan), Japan, and some other Asian countries & islands).

I. Germany

Germany was divided into 4 quadrants, in which each quadrant was ruled by one of the following countries: France, Britain, U.S, USSR.

G. Containment.

The Policy of Containment was instituted by the US, in which they would try to stop the spread of communism through supporting non-communist governments through aid economically, militarily, etc.

K. Berlin

Berlin was divided into two (as said above), and three parts (that make up half of Berlin) was given to the UK, France, and US respectively, while the eastern half was given to USSR. They decided to split Berlin, because Berlin was the capitol of Germany, and since the country was given to 4 countries, then the capitol would also have to be split. Soon this would result in the Berlin Airlift.
