The Berlin Airlift was one of the most successful humanitarian missions ever conducted by the U.S. military — and a lesson for how to address today's humanitarian crises, writes Grand Strategy program assistant director Kaete O'Connell in @Time.

Happy 80th birthday, Chris Browning! I learned a lot from Chris, not only about the Holocaust (when I was his TA), but also how to teach a good graduate seminar.
Jenni Browning commissioned a birthday cocktail (pictured), scotch, Cointreau, and lemon juice. Cheers!

Wrote a little something about why aid works and why it matters TIMEHistory

The Berlin Airlift’s Lesson for Today

ti.me/3VbP9Gf

I was so excited to graduate with my PhD in History from History at TAMU and Texas A&M University last week! My time in graduate school produced some of the fondest memories in my life! I cannot wait to begin my new job as an Assistant Professor UTRGV in the fall!!

What a beautiful and fantastic place to work Royal Military Academy Sandhurst - every building dripping with history.
A year ago today I graduated from History at TAMU, and it's been a long road getting here, but I'm so honoured to join LSW SANDHURST. Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way.

Am 12. Mai 1949 endete die Berliner #Luftbruecke . Nachdem die Sowjetunion sämtliche Verkehrswege blockiert hatte, versorgten die amerikanische und britische Luftwaffe die 2,2 Mio West- Berliner:innen 462 Tage lang auf dem Luftweg mit Lebensmitteln, Kohle und Baumaterial.

On this day in 1949, the Soviet Union ends its year-long blockade of Berlin. For 322 days, an Allied airlift has kept the city fed. The failure to starve Berlin into submission is an embarrassment for Moscow and an early Cold War victory for the West.

12 May 1949. The Soviet Union lifted the Berlin blockade, which had been the 1st major dispute of the Cold War. The Allied response in the form of the Berlin Airlift, represented the first major triumph for the west in the Cold War.

Vor 75 Jahren endete die Berliner Luftbrücke - auch #Berlin -Blockade genannt. Berlins Westsektoren wurden monatelang per Flugzeug von den 'Rosinenbombern' mit Lebensmitteln und Kohle versorgt. rbburl.de/75jahreluftbru…

75 years ago today, the Berlin Blockade was lifted.
