Which was the more important cause of the development of the cold war.
• the berlin blockade 1948–1949
• the korean war 1950–1953?
you must refer to both causes when explaining your answer.

The Korean War was already a proxy war during the Cold war: the Cold war has already been ongoing then.

The Berlin Blockade was earlier, and it can be assumed to be the beginning of the war: the Soviet Union decided that they can't risk loosing control of their occupational zone in Berlin

After the war there was a high demand for our goods by other countries. This gave a tremendous boost to our economy by creating more jobs and increasing the profits of producers.

The GI Bill of Rights was also enacted. This allowed returning veterans 1 yr of unemployment compensation, money for education and living expenses, low cost mortgages, and low interest business loans.
