Despite the United Nations, the divided regions continue to suffer
When World War I ended in 1918, the total population of Germany was 6,800,000, with an annual population growth of 3%. After the war, Germany signed a humiliating treaty at the French palace in Warsaw, which included a withdrawal from heavy warfare, armaments and large armies on Germany.
Due to these reasons, the German economy fell so much that the value of one dollar became several thousand German marks. Germany was in the throes of an economic crisis, but the economic and economic negative effects of the war. I (1930-33) was marked by the Great Depression
Meanwhile,
in Germany, Adolf Hitler
began to gain power and strength under his Nazism in 1933, and in 1938-39 he started the Second World War, challenging the whole of Europe, including Britain and France. Although Germany's retreat began in late 1942 and early 1943, it became clear in 1944 that the days of Germany's defeat were numbered.
Of course, other allies, including the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, were concerned that Germany might not be the first to develop a nuclear weapon, in which case no human sympathy was expected from Hitler. Had to turn the world to ashes in a few days
Thus, in 1944, the Allies' Committee for the Surrender of Germany was deciding on the surrender of Germany, which, unlike in World War I, required the signing of an agreement on the surrender of troops by a German army commander with the consent of the head of government. Was emphasized. In 1944, Allied forces landed in the middle of the Normandy region of France and began pushing back German troops.
April 20, 1945, was Adolf Hitler's birthday. Four days earlier, Russian General Marshall Zakov had begun shelling Germany from the east and north. The Battle of Berlin had begun. Hitler was in the city, and the German commanders were General Gotthard Heinrich and General Court von Tepelskirch.
Germany's 76 divisions consisting of 766,750 troops, 2,224 boThe Soviets laid siege to Berlin with 1.5 million troops. The Battle of Berlin lasted two weeks and two days from April 16 to May 2, 1945. Imagine the horrific devastation of this war: not only did Adolf Wolf Hitler commit suicide on May 2, 1945, at the end of the 16-day war, but 100,000 German soldiers were killed, more than 220,000 were wounded and 400,000 surrendered. 80,000 German soldiers were captured and another 22,000 German soldiers and about the same number of German civilians were killed in the inner city of Berlin where Hitler committed suicide.
On the other hand, more than 81,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and more than 280,000 were injured. The war destroyed 1997 Soviet tanks, 917 aircraft and 2,108 artillery pieces of various types. Although German troops surrendered in Berlin on May 2, German Commander-in-Chief General Keitel formally signed the surrender documents in front of the Allied forces on May 7, written in English, Russian and German. Were
Western allies celebrated the victory on May 8,
or three months later, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and Japan surrendered, and on October 25, 1945, the United Nations was formed. There were Russian troops in East Germany, including parts of West Germany, and in West Germany, there were US, French and British troops.
And defeated Germany, including the city of Berlin, was divided into two parts, and it is a bitter truth that the city of Berlin, where more than 70 million people worldwide were killed when German troops surrendered, ended World War II at that very moment. That's where the Cold War began. World War II killed the most Russians, at 14 million. At least one civilian was killed.
The number of German soldiers killed was more than 5.318 million, while 3 million German civilians were also killed. France lost 2.1 million troops and 400,000 civilians, and the United States 446,000 troops and 12,000 civilians, while Britain lost 383,700 troops and 67,000 civilians in World War II.
Soviets
y planes, 9,303 artillery pieces, 45,000 Special Forces and Hitler's Special Forces, consisting of 40,000 veterans, were fighting for the defense of Berlin. On the other hand, the head of the Soviet Union at that time was Stalin.
Soviet General Giorgio Dzhakov, General Konstantin Rokosovsky and Evin Konev entered Germany with 2.3 million Russian troops and 200,000 Polish troops and laid siege to the capital Berlin. They had 6,250 tanks, 7,500 fighter jets and 41,600 artillery pieces.
When the United Nations was formed,
and especially the Security Council, the Soviet Union's position in the Cold War was politically weaker than that of the Western Alliance. It was then one of the five permanent and veto-wielding countries of the security race. That is, his share was only 20%.
Then when the United States used the atomic bomb against Japan, obviously no one in the world except the United States had nuclear weapons at that time, but not only the Soviet Union had strengthened its hold on the eastern part of Germany, but here Under communism the country's system was established and at the same time focused on the development of nuclear weapons until nuclear secrets were stolen from the United States. In 1949, the Soviet Union detonated a nuclear device.
From June 24, 1948, to May 11, 1949, the Soviet Union laid siege to Berlin, or in other words, laid siege to Berlin, which the United States, Britain, and France called the Berlin Block. The Soviet Union closed all rail and road routes to Berlin, leaving Western allies, the United States, Britain and France, unable to deliver supplies to Berlin, as the occupied parts of divided Berlin were surrounded by Soviet territory. I was surrounded.
The purpose of the siege by the Soviet Union was to force these Western powers to allow the Soviet Union to supply food and fuel to West Berlin and thus occupy the entire city of Berlin. ۔ Under normal circumstances, the United States might have insisted on the use of force, but the US CIA may have informed the US president and government at the time that the Soviet Union was developing nuclear weapons, so the Western alliance responded to the Soviet siege. From the beginning of the Berlin Airlift.
From June 24, 1948 to May 11, 1949, large cargo ships from the United States, Britain and other Commonwealth countries, especially Australia, flew more than two million flights during these eleven months, delivering 13,000 tons of food to Berlin daily. The airstrikes embarrassed the Soviet Union and lifted the siege of Berlin.
However, in those 11 months, 101 lives were lost during air supply, including 40 British and 31 Americans. Most of the deaths were caused by plane crashes. During the operation, 17 American and 8 British planes crashed, costing the entire process ڈالر 224 million.
The United States named the operation Operation Vittles, the United Kingdom Operation Plainfare and Australia Operation Pelican. This was the first major Cold War event since World War II, in which the Soviet Union took a drastic step, and in contrast, the United States, Britain, and France adopted a political strategy that proved to be a ruse.
As far as the United Nations is concerned, this was the first time that a veto power member of the Security Council stood against the Soviet Union, and then it is a bitter truth that the decision here is also a test of strength and the basis of political wisdom. And the dispute over the partition and occupation of Germany, and especially the city of Berlin, was not resolved.
Immediately after this global conflict, on 4 July 1949, the United States, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, France, Canada, Portugal, Italy, Denmark, and Iceland formed the NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Three years later, on February 18, 1952, Greece and Turkey joined NATO. In 1954, the Soviet Union also applied to join, saying it wanted to join Europe for peace, but was opposed by NATO members. On May 9, 1955, West Germany joined NATO, and Norway's foreign minister called it a turning point.
Following the end of the Cold War in 1999, three former communist countries ہ Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland نی joined NATO. In addition, Albania, Macedonia, Georgia, and Croatia are seeking NATO membership.
When NATO was formed and West Germany joined it, the Soviet Union and its allies formed the Warsaw Pact on 15 July 1955 in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, which included Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, These included Hungary, Romania and Poland.
Albania withdrew from the agreement in 1961 due to differences between China and Russia. The SEATO-South Asia Treaty Organization was formed in September 1954. It was a defense agreement that included Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Pakistan. It was against the Soviet Union and China and ended in 1977. ۔
Another similar organization in the Middle East to counter Soviet interests was the CENTO Sandal Treaty Organization, or Baghdad Pact, formed in 1955, which included Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
This organization became ineffective when General Abdul Kareem overthrew the king with a revolution in Iraq on July 14, 1958. It should be noted that the revolution in China in 1949 and the establishment of a communist government and the Soviet Union becoming a nuclear power. The situation later became alarming for the Western bloc.
Germany was divided into two factions, and the powers that had veto power over the security of the United Nations were again embroiled in a global conflict after World War II. Improved by nuclear power, but still Germany's battlefield due to war fears
While West Germany had troops with NATO missiles and piles of weapons in the form of a Western alliance, so did East Germany with arms and troops from the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact countries. It seemed that perhaps these great powers of the world had decided that if there was a third world war, the battlefield would be Germany. Communist power in East Germany was in line with its dictatorial regime, and East Germany was embroiled in such agreements with the Soviet Union.
Unable to escape, and so did West Germany's democracy and capitalist regime, which, after the defeat in the war, made similar agreements with the United States and Britain, some of which still have German-Russian relations. Germany is still bound by the terms of trade and economic agreements. But the fact is that at that time the people of West Germany were more free and prosperous than the people of East Germany.
From 1945 to 1950, 1.5 million Germans migrated from East Germany to West Germany and sought political asylum. By 1961, 4.5 million Germans had fled East Germany to West Germany and sought political asylum there. This number was 20% of the total population of East Germany. The position of the United States, Britain, and France over East and West Germany, as opposed to the Soviet Union, was politically strange.
The Soviet Union claimed the right to occupy all of Germany, and especially the entire city of Berlin, and had made a failed attempt to do so in the form of the siege of Berlin in 1944-49, and it knew that politically if East Germans were Westerners If he does not stop going to Germany, there will come a time when he will have to give up East Germany as well.
As far as the UN Charter and the Human Rights Declaration were concerned, it was morally necessary to respect the Soviet Union because these powers, including the UN Charter and the Human Rights Declaration Soviet Union, had co-created and In 1958, Brezhnev gave an ultimatum to the Western alliance to evacuate West Berlin in six months to make the city a demilitarized zone. East Germany and the Soviet Union will take control of Berlin's routes six months later. Britain and France have stated they will continue to use Berlin freely.
They decided that the Soviet Union's aggression against West Germany would be met with a united response. The foreign ministers of the four countries met three times in May 1959 but failed to reach an agreement, but because of these meetings, Russian Prime Minister Khrushchev and US President Eisenhower acknowledged that any agreement on arms control The problem should be solved through dialogue instead of force. Then in 1959 Khrushchev spent a few days at Camp David with the US President and from these talks Khrushchev realized that a deal with the US was possible on the Berlin issue and he Agreed to negotiate.
It was later decided that a solution to the problem would be found at the 1960 Paris Summit. But on May 1, 1960, the Soviet Union shot down a U.S. spy plane U2 flying from a U.S. military base at Badaber in Peshawar, Pakistan, with a SA2 guided missile that hit the ground in Russian territory, and its pilot, Francis Gary Francis Gray. Arrested (It should be noted that Uto US spy planes flying from Pakistan at high altitudes used to take pictures of Russian military and other important installations in the Russian territory with a camera.) When the Soviet Union shot down the plane, the pilot was killed alive. He also confessed to spying.
Therefore, the United States faced humiliation on the world stage. Now Khrushchev has also threatened Pakistan that Russia has drawn a red circle around Peshawar. On the other hand, Eisenhower protested angrily and refused to attend the meeting on Monday, thus canceling this important meeting in Paris. John F. Kennedy became President of the United States. One month and three days after the cancellation of the Paris Conference, on June 4, 1961, at the Vienna Conference, tensions between President Kennedy and Khrushchev escalated.
The Soviet Union set a deadline of December 31, 1961, to take control of the city of Berlin, and the Soviet Union's plan to build the Berlin Wall became clear. Khrushchev had already kept it secret and had already gathered tens of millions of tons of material and 32,000 engineers, other staff and 14,000 troops to build the 156-kilometer-long Berlin Wall at breakneck speed.
After the Vienna summit, when President Kennedy saw the crisis escalate, he told ABC TV and radio in Washington that the United States did not want a war, but had historically acknowledged Russia's concerns over Eastern Europe, and therefore the Soviet Union. We want to start talking again.
But in the same speech, President John F. Kennedy announced that he would ask Congress to provide an additional 25 3.25 billion for arms and ammunition to add six more divisions in the military and two divisions in the Marines. He also demanded more money for space research, saying it would further improve the defense system.
He said that today the number of US troops is 875,000, which is to be increased to 1000000, as well as 29000 in the dynamic navy and 6300 in the air force, during the TV radio address of US President John F. Kennedy. Was located near the resort of Sochi.
He told US envoy John Jay McCly that the increase in troops by President Kennedy was a threat to war, although in his speech President Kennedy acknowledged the Soviet Union's protection in the historical context of Eastern Europe. He had indicated that if the Soviet Union built a wall between East Berlin and West Berlin, they would not cause it.
Thus, on August 13, 1961, Soviet and East German troops closed the eastern border with a 156-kilometer-long barbed wire fence. From August 17, construction of the 156-kilometer-long, 3.6-meter-high wall began at a rapid pace. In August, East Germany and the Soviet Union barred West Berlin and West Germany from entering East Berlin and East Germany, although in 1945, immediately after World War II, when Hitler and Nazism were defeated in Berlin, the four powers, the Soviets, At a conference between the Union, the United States, Britain and France, it was agreed that Allied forces would be allowed to move freely to Berlin. Will be able to come to every area.
After August 30, 1961, the Soviet Union's rise in East Berlin and East Germany, and the United States, Britain and France's rise in West Berlin and West Germany, came to a standstill when President Kennedy reacted immediately. While 14,000 troops sent 216 modern fighter jets F84 and F86 Air Force aircraft to Europe. On October 22, 1961, two months after the construction of the Berlin Wall began, the car of US Chief of Mission West Germany E Allan Lighter was stopped at a checkpoint en route from West Berlin to East Berlin.
Former U.S. General Lucius D. Clay, who was President Kennedy's adviser in Berlin, wanted an answer and Brigadier General ٖ Frederick.O.Hartel Frederick O'Hartel was ready to bulldoze the roadblock with tanks. gone. He sent a message to US Ambassador Albert Hemsing, who was also a member of the Berlin Mission, to order the removal of obstacles on the way from West Berlin to East Berlin.
Hemsing may have had talks with President Kennedy during this time, and then Hemsing arrived in his official car with full protocol, where the tanks and armies of the Soviet Union and East Germany and the United States, Britain and French troops and tanks stood face to face.
When US Ambassador Albert Hemsing arrived at the entry point, Soviet and East German troops demanded his passport and then only allowed his car to enter East Berlin for talks and the rest of the guards returned. نا پڑا۔ The British ambassador was also detained the next day. When Hemsing was returned on October 27, 1961, the situation became critical and the outbreak of World War III was in grave danger. Now the Soviet Union had made it very clear that it would have full control over East Germany, including East Berlin, and the United States, Britain, and France were barred from entering. Political tensions and pressures were now at an all-time high around the world.
This was the same German mainland where the Soviet Union entered 16 years ago and then the United States, Britain and France as victors. Then in 1948-49 the siege of the Soviet Union was successfully defeated by the United States, Britain and France. Had failed but now the armies were face to face and there was a distance of a few meters between them. Nikita Brezhnev had taken a decisive stance, and some flexibility was shown by President Kennedy when he spoke on TV and radio after the Vienna Conference, saying that he was concerned about the Soviet Union's concerns over Eastern Europe. Recognize the historical background.
At the time, Brezhnev was well-versed in President Kennedy's intentions and policy, and had previously shot down a U2 spy plane flying from Peshawar and refused to attend the Paris conference, and then canceled the Paris conference. Brezhnev also gained political strength.
And then on October 27, 1961, when the situation became extremely alarming and critical, President John F. Kennedy stated that although the Wall was not a better solution, we did not want war. After that, the troops had to retreat from this point on the Berlin Wall. Now the question was who backed down first. This may have been discussed with Prime Minister Brezhnev of the existing military command in East Germany, and when he had succeeded, then why would he fly at such talk.
First five meters of Russian tanks and troops retreated and then Western Allied tanks and troops retreated, thus recognizing the status of the Berlin Wall. There are so many walls in the world and in recent years there are hundreds of countries that have built hundreds of thousands of kilometers of walls on their borders with reservations from their neighbors.
Until the construction of the wall began in 1961, about 4.5 million people fled the communist dictatorship in East Germany and sought political asylum in West Germany, and until its construction in 1989, 5,000 Germans fled East Germany. Attempts were made to escape, killing at least 200 people.
Pakistan does not seem to have anything to do with this problem and political crisis in East and West Germany, but the fact is that the Berlin Wall was built because of Pakistan and the Berlin Wall was demolished because of Pakistan.
In 1959, in talks with the US President in Geneva, Khrushchev agreed that the issue of disarmament, along with the Berlin issue, would be resolved at the Paris Conference in 1960, forcing Khrushchev to join the talks. After Germany's conquest in 1945, the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France set out on a four-pronged Berlin mission to allow troops from all four forces to move freely into both parts of Germany, including East and West Berlin.
How could the people of East Germany be prevented from coming to West Germany in such a free environment? In the end, the Soviet Union would either withdraw from East Germany or remain ineffective if it remained in East Germany. But on May 1, 1960, when the Soviet Union shot down a U-2 spy plane flying over the US military airfield at Badaber, near Peshawar, it was allowed to boycott the Paris Summit. Kardi From 1961 to November 9, 1989, very few of those who peeled through the Berlin Wall reached West Germany from East Germany.
Then in 1979-80, when the former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the Mujahideen of Afghanistan began to resist the Soviet aggression. The whole world thought that the Soviet Union would not enter any country and return. But the Afghan Mujahideen, with the clear help of Pakistan, not only forced the Soviet forces to withdraw from Afghanistan, but also the Soviet leader Garbachov reformed his occupation of Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia under the headings of Glassons and Prestrica. Liberated India and at the same time broke the Varasa Pact as soon as it gave up communism and thus all the communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe also became independent.
From here, too, Soviet troops withdrew. This situation took the form of a revolutionary wave in Eastern and Central Europe in late 1989, after a few weeks of unrest in East Germany on November 9, 1989, when it was announced that East German citizens could move freely to West Berlin and West Germany. A large number of Germans crossed the barrier from East Germany to West Berlin, where they were greeted by hundreds of thousands of West Berliners, and within a week, the German giant dragged the Berlin Wall to several places. Broke from After that, the same people arrived with bulldozers and other equipment and started tearing down the entire 156 km wall.
Then came the German reunification, and on October 3, 1990, East and West Germany were reunited. From 1945 to 1961, when the Berlin Wall was not built, the security of the United Nations was tested here by the fundamental and central forces of the race. The oppression of world politics was tolerated by the people here and then this oppression was further strengthened by building the Berlin Wall.
As soon as the Berlin Wall fell and the end of the Cold War was announced, the billions of oppressed people in the developing and backward countries thought that all the forces and walls that divided the nations would be torn down. North and South Korea, Palestine, Jerusalem, Cyprus and Northern Cyprus, Azad Kashmir and Occupied Kashmir will also be reunited, but look at the repression of history that after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in human history, nations have been divided. The process of building more and more strong and long walls to occupy them has begun. 21 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, construction began on the 708-kilometer-long Israeli West Bank wall, which is now 440 kilometers long.
The United Nations also exists, its security also has the veto power of race, it can only be said here that even in the ancient Babylonian and Nineveh civilizations of Iraq, Bakht Nasr was a very powerful king during whose time technology advanced so much. When Bakht Nasr had limited his arrogance, an unseen hand had written on the wall of his great palace that your downfall has been written and today, the inscription on the wall This phrase is used in almost every language in the world and is very common in languages that are the official or official languages of the United Nations.
