Explanation:

The time during World War II was a very important time for developing and using nuclear capabilities. Many countries and powers believed that by obtaining new nuclear weapons and items, they would have a better chance at winning the war.

The Manhattan Project was a huge project by the United States that helped develop some of the first ever made nuclear weapons. Numerous scientists worked on this and it took some time to complete. The Manhattan Project eventually lead to Japan surrendering because of the nuclear bombs that the United States used on them.

Klaus Fuchs was a very important figure in this, as he would spy and steal information from the United States and other Allied powers to help the Soviet Union.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
