- June 24, 1948
- Oh my god, it actually worked! I'm in West Berlin. I can now retrieve my rock.
- Don't be so happy, the Soviets are keeping us in! We will starve if we don't get food soon!
- Oh I know what this is...This is the Berlin Airlift where the Allies supplied West Berlin with food and resources so that they could keep living even while the Soviets set up a blockade.
- What is THAT?! Food! my family will not starve!
- March 29, 1947
- Hey that's my rock! You can't use that, and you especially can't use that to build the Berlin Wall. This Wall is used to oppress millions of West Berliners so that Stalin can spread his political ideas. Stalin wants to take over this area of Berlin and is blockading it to make the Allies surrender it. The Allies won't accept defeat, and will fly 200,000 flights to drop supplies in West Berlin.
- I'm going to get my rock and then get out of here!
- I need to go and see what's going on in America now. I wonder what they're doing about Soviet aggression and their decisions to try and spread communism. Let me go meet with the president, Harry Truman.
- To keep the Soviets back and contain communism, we need to do everything in our power to stop communism from spreading. This calls for billions of dollars in aid to go towards the weak countries in East Europe to keep them out of the grasps of the Soviets.
- I, Harry Truman, am going to combat communism in East Europe. We can not let the Soviets expand their communist influence.
- Mr. President, how are you going to do this?
- Now that we have retrieved my rock, seen the American's efforts to stop Soviet influence in East Europe using the Truman doctrine, and the Allies efforts to stop Soviet expansion into West Berlin, I can now look for the rest of my things. I think I need to find my father's cigar next...
