Stalin started the Berlin Blockade in 1948 as a first step in a plan to pull West Germany into the Soviet sphere of influence. He expected West Berlin to eventually begin accepting supplies from Soviet East Germany, effectively bringing all of Berlin under Soviet control. He believed that if he could control Berlin, West Germany would soon follow.
