The Berlin Crisis and the Berlin Blockade are related but not identical events. The Berlin Blockade occurred from June 1948 to May 1949 when the Soviet Union attempted to cut off all ground access to West Berlin in response to the introduction of a new currency in West Germany. The broader Berlin Crisis refers to the heightened tensions and conflicts over Berlin that included the Blockade but also encompassed earlier and later events, including the division of the city and the eventual construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Thus, while the Blockade was a significant episode within the broader context of the Berlin Crisis, they are not the same thing.
