Stalin's response to the Berlin Airlift, which began in June 1948, was to maintain the Soviet blockade of West Berlin, cutting off all ground access to the city in an attempt to force the Allies to abandon their plans for a separate West German state. He underestimated the resolve of the United States and its allies, who responded by airlifting supplies to the city for nearly a year. The blockade ultimately failed, highlighting the division of East and West and solidifying the Cold War tensions. In May 1949, Stalin lifted the blockade, but the episode deepened the rift between the Eastern and Western blocs.
