Stalin's blockade of West Berlin in 1948 was primarily a response to the Western Allies' introduction of a new currency in West Germany, which he viewed as a threat to Soviet influence in the region. While he aimed to assert control over Berlin and counter Western policies, the blockade led to significant humanitarian suffering and heightened tensions during the Cold War. Critics argue that his actions were unjustifiable, as they escalated conflict rather than fostering cooperation. Ultimately, the blockade can be seen as a strategic move within the broader context of geopolitical rivalry, but its moral justification remains highly contentious.
