The Soviets reacted to the Western policy of containment in Berlin by implementing the Berlin Blockade in June 1948, which aimed to cut off all ground access to West Berlin in an effort to force the Allies out of the city. This aggressive move prompted the United States and its allies to respond with the Berlin Airlift, supplying West Berlin through air routes for nearly a year. The Blockade and subsequent Airlift heightened tensions in the Cold War and solidified the division of Berlin into East and West. Ultimately, the Soviet action failed to achieve its goal, as the airlift successfully sustained West Berlin and demonstrated the West's commitment to defending it.
