Impact of the Berlin Airlift and the formation of the FRG

Advantages

The airlift displayed the West's commitment to protecting the population
Following the airlift, the Western Allies decided to co-ordinate their armed forces. This was a fundamental reason for the creation of NATO.
Within the Western Zones there was considerable support for the formation of an economically secure German state allied to the West
The new West German state came into existence in May 1949, with Adenauer as the first chancellor

Disadvantages

Evaluation

Overall, the Berlin Airlift was a success because it led to the formation of the FRG. In turn, this then led to the GDR becoming an official state too.
