Why did the soviets lift the blockade of Berlin?

Answer 1

Because the communist style of economic socialism was unsustainable. It had no real incentives to reward the productive worker or the enterprising business builder. To the contrary, the Soviet styled economy rewared mediocrity and sloth. Unfortunately, the USA is going down the same dead end as did the USSR. The reason for this, is the real controllers of the nations (certainly not the presidents), but those in charge Behind the Scenes, like the broad economics of socialism because it allows them easier access to plunder the wealth of nations. The USSR was systematically hollowed-out, leaving only a shell of its former self. We see the same thing in America. Most all large manufacturing companies have fled, leaving the USA a pathetic service economy. Nothing is produced. Untold billions are skimmed in churning scams. America, sadly, is in the bloated Elvis stage, ready for a massive heartattack while sitting on the can. But we have football to distract us, thank God!

Answer 2

The Airlift showed that the blockade wouldn't work. The Soviets eventually agreed to negotiate with the western Allies. The negotiations were successful and the Soviets agreed to end the blockade a few days later.

Answer 3

Fear that the Allies were creating a new German state To remove the Allies from Berlin

Answer 4

Because they finally came to the conclusion the Allies were willing to do whatever it took to bypass the blockade.
