East vs West
In 1948, it was decided to unite the American, British and French occupation zones in Germany. They did the same in Berlin, so West Berlin became a capitalist island inside the Soviet zone. Stalin tried to take over West Berlin by blocking all traffic, preventing food and supplies of entering West Berlin. The USA responded to this Berlin Blockade by starting an airlift: over the next three hundred days, thousands of Allied airplanes flew to West Berlin and landed food and fuel supplies there. Eventually the blockade was lifted. Because of this crisis, the USA and Western Europe formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The members of this Euro-American alliance agreed to support each other if one of them was attacked by another country. The Soviet Union responded by creating the Warsaw Pact, a similar military alliance of the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc countries.

The Hungarian Revolt (1956) 

In 1956, thousands of Hungarian students marched through Budapest to demonstrate against their pro-Soviet government and the presence of Soviet forces. Quickly this revolt spread across the whole of Hungary. The government asked the Soviet Union for support, but before they could interfere, the Hungarian government was forced to step down by the revolutionaries. When the new revolutionary government announced Hungary was leaving the Warsaw Pact, the Soviet Union sent troops. After a bloody fight lasting for months and killing 2,600 Hungarians, the Soviet Union was victorious and restored the pro-Soviet government.
