In the presidential elections of 1824, Andrew Jackson lost to John Quincy Adams in the House of Representatives, despite having more electoral and popular votes than him.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1824 was the tenth presidential election in the United States. John Quincy Adams was elected president on February 9, 1825, after the election was decided by the House of Representatives, since no candidate obtained the necessary votes of the Electoral College to win. The previous year had been that of a one-party government, as the Federalist Party had dissolved, leaving only the Democratic-Republican party as a national political entity. In this election, the Democrat-Republican had four candidates for the presidency. This process still did not lead to formal party organization but later the faction led by Andrew Jackson would evolve into the Democratic Party while factions led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay would become the Republican National Party and then the Whig Party.

The presidential election of 1824 was a notable controversy, being the only election since the passage of the Twelfth Amendment having been decided by the House of Representatives. It was also the only presidential election in which the candidate who received the most electoral votes did not become president.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
