In response to the Soviet Union's blockade of Berlin in 1948, the United States and Western European nations initiated the Berlin Airlift, a massive operation that supplied the city with food, fuel, and other essentials by air. Over nearly a year, they delivered thousands of tons of supplies to sustain the West Berlin population, effectively countering the blockade. This action demonstrated the West's commitment to supporting Berlin and resisting Soviet expansion, solidifying the divide between East and West during the early Cold War. The airlift successfully ended the blockade in May 1949, showcasing the resolve of the U.S. and its allies against Soviet aggression.

During the Berlin Blockade of 1948-1949, the airlift primarily supplied the western sectors of Berlin, which included West Berlin's American, British, and French zones. The Soviet Union had cut off all ground access to these areas, necessitating the airlift to deliver food, fuel, and other essential supplies to the residents. The operation was a crucial response to the blockade and demonstrated the commitment of Western allies to support West Berlin.
