In response to the Soviet Union's blockade of Berlin in 1948, the United States and Western European nations initiated the Berlin Airlift, a massive operation that supplied the city with food, fuel, and other essentials by air. Over nearly a year, they delivered thousands of tons of supplies to sustain the West Berlin population, effectively countering the blockade. This action demonstrated the West's commitment to supporting Berlin and resisting Soviet expansion, solidifying the divide between East and West during the early Cold War.
