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.
