The Berlin Blockade is known as the period of time from June 24, 1948 to May 12, 1949 when the British and Americans flew supplies to the city of Berlin, which was blockaded by the Soviets. The actions carried out during this time are known as the Berlin Airlift.
The U.S response to the Soviet blockade was sending srms to Berlin by planes, therefor allowing them to fight back. The United States along with Britain and other countries send food, supplies, etc. They had continued this for about a year.
well it stopped the british from have food and supplies because the british had surrendered and the Americans had won. Also after the war the British lost land.
The British, Americans and Germans used tents to shelter men while the Soviets used men to shelter tents.
The Americans had it first (1945), the Soviets second (1949), and the British, French, and Chinese after. India, Pakistan, and Israel also developed the atom bomb in the Cold War period.

British troops had better training and more supplies
The Americans didn't have as many soldiers as the British and had less ammo and other supplies than the British.
the British had to send men, supplies from 3000miles and that takes a while to get there by ship
Army - traning Army - supplies Navy - size and strength Supply Lines- distance from home morale - reason and will to fight Leadership The British were better trained in their army & its leaders. Years of training. They had great uniforms. The uniforms did make it easy to spot them. haha! British had more money for supplies. British had ships to garner supplies. The British paid their military. The Americans adapted their tactics to fit conditions. The British marched in line making it easy from behind trees to pick them off. The British never adapted to change in fighting. The Americans fought for freedom & had a cause. Short of supplies the Americans learned to use of materials. Americans blocked British ships from docking. American leadership like General Washington inspired troops. On paper, the British should have won but Americans have proved themself to be resourceful.
They hoped to cut off the Americans supplies from getting to them which the British hoped would eventually lead to the Americans surrender
British troops had better training and more supplies
The Americans were able to surround the British at Yorktown the British could not escape by boat because the French had blockaded the harbor. And Lord Cornwallis of the British was forced to surrender after long days of fighting.
The U.S response to the Soviet blockade was sending srms to Berlin by planes, therefor allowing them to fight back. The United States along with Britain and other countries send food, supplies, etc. They had continued this for about a year.
The Americans and British wanted to support their sector in Berlin (and supply the population with enough to keep them alive) without starting a war. 270,000 flights of supplies later, the Soviets agreed the West meant business and lifted their surface blockade.
filling orders for supplies needed for war
Actually, the British blockaded the city of Boston and the people of the city had a terrible winter. There are written reports of people burning church pews for fire wood. It was one of the coldest winters they had for a long time.
