In July 1945 Berlin was divided into 4 zones. These were occupied by the UK, the USSR, the USA and France. In 1949 the British, French and American zones joined to become West Germany, and the USSR zone was the Eastern Germany. Stalin (the USSR leader) believedthat in 1948 that all road, rail and canal links with West Germany should be blocked. The Airlift was then introduted by the US to ensure that food and other supplies could get to there sections of Berlin. The airlift was vital to ensure the wel-being of the citizens of West Berlin.

What war A wall blockade and airlift were all a part of which city during the Cold War?

The wall blockade and airlift were part of the Berlin Crisis, specifically the Berlin Blockade, which occurred from 1948 to 1949. This situation arose when the Soviet Union blocked access to West Berlin in an attempt to gain control over the entire city. In response, the Western Allies initiated the Berlin Airlift, supplying West Berlin with food and essentials by air. The crisis highlighted the intense geopolitical tensions of the Cold War between the Eastern and Western blocs.
