The Soviet wanted to supply Berlin with food and fuel to gain complete control over Berlin. The Soviet Union could have used this control to scare the Western Allies into doing their bidding.

The Berlin Blockade
The soviets captured Berlin in the year 1945
The Berlin Wall was built, with the intentions of keeping East Berliners from escaping to free West Berlin.
a reunification of the three western zones of occupation
The two western powers flew supplies over the blockade into West Berlin. This act is commonly called the BERLIN AIRLIFT. The Soviet Union revered policy after a year when the Soviets ended the blockade and pemited land-transport of goods to West Berlin.
The Berlin Crisis was solved by the Berlin Airlift. For several months in 1961 thousands of tons of supplies were flown into West Berlin. This broke the blockade of Berlin by the Soviets.
Stalin imposed a blockade on Berlin for 11 months in an attempt to drive the Western Powers control out of West Berlin. As Berlin was in the Soviet bloc of Germany, he closed off all access to West Berlin so no resources could get through. this included food, coal for electricity etc.. The West Powers did not allow this to stop them and used the three air corridors, which they were still able to use, to supply West Berlin will all it needed. It was a massive airlift with planes flying into West Berlin constantly. After 11 months, Stalin saw that the Western Powers were not budging and ended the blockade. hope that helps!

The Soviets tried to force the Western Allies to abandon a currency reform, and possibly even Berlin itself. -JenniferMichelle Kinsel (:
Berlin blockade. The Soviets blockaded West Berlin to force it to become communist (it was democratic). The Berlin Airlift is when the US airlifted supplies to West Berlin. You know so they don't give in to communism.
