The Soviets closed the roads to West Berlin in June 1948 as part of the Berlin Blockade, aiming to exert control over the entire city and force the Western Allies to abandon their sectors. This action was a response to the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in West Germany, which the Soviets viewed as a threat to their influence in the region. The blockade was an attempt to isolate West Berlin and pressure the Allies into negotiating a unified Germany under Soviet control. The situation ultimately led to the Berlin Airlift, where the Allies supplied West Berlin by air for nearly a year.
