Why did Stalin set up a blockade between East and West Berlin?

Stalin set up a blockade between East and West Berlin in 1948 to try to force the Western Allies to give up control of West Berlin and to prevent the flow of resources and people between the two parts of the city.


The soviets response to the containment policy of Truman's adminstration was the Berlin blockade imposed by Stalin in 1948 What was this blockade?

Stalin imposed a blockade on Berlin for 11 months in an attempt to drive the Western Powers control out of West Berlin. As Berlin was in the Soviet bloc of Germany, he closed off all access to West Berlin so no resources could get through. this included food, coal for electricity etc.. The West Powers did not allow this to stop them and used the three air corridors, which they were still able to use, to supply West Berlin will all it needed. It was a massive airlift with planes flying into West Berlin constantly. After 11 months, Stalin saw that the Western Powers were not budging and ended the blockade. hope that helps!

What was Stalin's purpose in the Berlin Blockade?

Stalin's purpose in the Berlin Blockade, which began in June 1948, was to exert pressure on the Western Allies by cutting off access to West Berlin in an attempt to force them to abandon the city. He aimed to consolidate Soviet control over East Germany and to challenge the legitimacy of Western influence in Germany. By isolating West Berlin, Stalin sought to demonstrate the vulnerability of the Western powers and to compel them to negotiate on terms favorable to the Soviet Union. Ultimately, the blockade aimed to strengthen the Soviet position in Europe amid rising tensions of the Cold War.
