The Berlin Blockade occurred from June 1948 to May 1949 as a response to the Western Allies' decision to introduce a new currency in West Germany, which the Soviet Union viewed as a threat to its influence in Eastern Europe. In an effort to exert control over West Berlin and counteract the economic recovery of the West, the Soviets blocked all ground access to the city, cutting off supplies. In response, the Western Allies initiated the Berlin Airlift, supplying West Berlin with food and materials via air routes, effectively circumventing the blockade. This standoff heightened Cold War tensions and solidified the division of Germany into East and West.
The Blockade of the Sea, also known as the Blockade of Germany, occurred during World War I, starting in 1914 and continuing until the end of the war in 1918. The Allied powers implemented this naval blockade to restrict the Central Powers' trade and access to supplies, significantly impacting Germany's economy and contributing to food shortages. The blockade was a key strategy in weakening Germany and ultimately played a role in the Allies' victory.
