In response to the Soviet blockade of Berlin in 1948, the Western powers, primarily the United States and Britain, organized the Berlin Airlift to supply the city with essential goods and resources. Over the course of nearly a year, they flew in food, fuel, and other necessities, successfully sustaining the West Berlin population despite the blockade. This operation demonstrated the West's commitment to resisting Soviet pressure and marked a significant escalation in Cold War tensions. Ultimately, the blockade was lifted in May 1949, but the incident solidified the division of Berlin and heightened the ideological divide between East and West.

How did Berlin react to the airlift?
The Berlin airlift was seen as an act of defiance by the West against the Soviet Union. After WWII the nation of Germany was divided between the Allies as well as its capital city. Berlin rested well within the Soviet occupation zone, however, which made it impossible for Westerners to reach it by land. Stalin essentially wanted to politically besiege the sections of Berlin that weren't under his control. The American's eventually devised a plan to instead airdrop supplies into their controlled sectors, enabling them to hold out. The Soviets dared not to shoot down the planes or else spark another war. Eventually the "siege" was stopped, but the airlift still continued.
