The U.S. combated the Berlin Blockade, initiated by the Soviet Union in June 1948, to prevent the Soviet takeover of West Berlin and to uphold its commitment to protect democratic nations in Europe. The blockade aimed to cut off all land and water access to West Berlin, threatening the city's survival.
