The Berlin Air Lift, with which the Western Powers succeeded in supplying the city, thus going over the Soviet blockade.
The Soviet Union did not blockade its own zone, so the blockade applied only to the three Western sectors of Berlin: it did not 'extend out'.
In response to Stalin's blockade of West Berlin in 1948, the United States and Great Britain organized the Berlin Airlift, an operation to supply West Berlin with essential goods and resources by air. Over nearly a year, they delivered food, fuel, and other necessities to the isolated city, successfully countering the blockade without direct military confrontation. This operation not only sustained the residents of West Berlin but also demonstrated the Western Allies' commitment to resisting Soviet pressure and maintaining their presence in the city. Ultimately, the blockade was lifted in May 1949, marking a significant point in the early Cold War.
The Berlin Airlift was in reaction to the Berlin Blockade. The United States and allies delivered supplies to West Berlin.
The two western powers flew supplies over the blockade into West Berlin. This act is commonly called the BERLIN AIRLIFT. The Soviet Union revered policy after a year when the Soviets ended the blockade and pemited land-transport of goods to West Berlin.
The Berlin Blockade was supposed to cause the allies to give up western Berlin to the Soviet forces, but instead the allies constantly airlifted supplies past the blockade until it was lifted.
