Allied Control Council For Germany
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 May 2009
Extract
Since March 20, 1948, the Allied Control Council for Germany has virtually been dissolved, thus, in effect, ending four-power control in Germany. Following the failure of the Allied Control Council to meet during the latter part of March and the early part of April, the three powers controlling western Germany decided to go ahead and discuss the possibility of establishing political and economic stability in their respective sectors of Germany. This decision resulted in the reopening of the six-power conference on April 20 and the announcement of a currency reform on June 18. Immediately following the latter action, the USSR began a land blockade of Berlin and on July 1 withdrew from the Berlin Kommandatura, the last remaining four-power governing body in Germany.
