You may be asking yourself, What is a Frienemey? A frienemy is someone with whom you are occasionally friendly, but deep down, you really don't like. In the case of the Berlin Blockade the Soviet Union was Frienemeies with all three of the other allies. The United States, Great Britain, and France needed the Soviet Union to help win the war against Germany but really didn't approve of its Communist political system. The other allies were also unhappy that Germany's capital, Berlin, had been captured by the Soviets and was in the Soviet-controlled zone.

This caused a very tense situation!!
