The Allies had two main options for breaking the Berlin Blockade: one was to use military force to open up the roads and railways into West Berlin, which risked escalating tensions with the Soviet Union. The second option was the Berlin Airlift, where the Allies supplied West Berlin by air, delivering food and essential goods to sustain the city's population despite the blockade. Ultimately, they chose the airlift, demonstrating their commitment to supporting West Berlin without direct military confrontation.
The Soviets ended the blockade of West Berlin in 1949 because they realized it was not achieving their goal of forcing the Western Allies out of the city. The blockade had led to the Berlin Airlift, where the Allies supplied West Berlin by air, showing the Soviets that their blockade was ineffective.
No. The Soviets instituted the Berlin blockade, so the allies initiated the Berlin airlift to get supplies to civilians inside the blockaded city.
The Berlin Blockade (Airlift) lasted from June 1948 till May 1949. After the end of the blockade the allies continued to airlift essentials into West Berlin to order to have a stockpile, just in case the blockade was renewed (which didn't happen).
The Soviets ended the blockade of West Berlin because they realized it was not achieving their goals and was causing international backlash. They also saw that the Western Allies were resolute in their support for West Berlin, making the blockade unsustainable.
The Berlin Airlift was in reaction to the Berlin Blockade. The United States and allies delivered supplies to West Berlin.
