The Berlin Airlift was a response to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin, which began in June 1948 and lasted until May 1949. In an effort to cut off access to the city, the Soviets halted all ground routes to West Berlin. In response, the United States and its allies organized a massive airlift to supply the city with food, fuel, and other essential goods. Over nearly a year, planes delivered approximately 2.3 million tons of supplies, successfully sustaining the city's population and demonstrating the West's commitment to resisting Soviet pressure.
