World War 2
The Berlin blockade took place during the Cold War. It split the city of Berlin into two separate cities. One was under soviet rule and the other was not. The politicians involved in this were Harry S. Truman and Joseph Stalin.
The Berlin Blockade took place from June 24, 1948 - May 12, 1949. It was an international crisis during the Cold War.
The Berlin Airlift was sent to deliver supplies to troops during the cold war. It also intimidated the communists and made them back down their blockade.

The Berlin Blockade was important in the context of Cold War tensions because it marked a significant escalation in the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. The blockade, imposed by the Soviet Union in 1948, aimed to cut off Western access to West Berlin, a key symbol of Western presence in post-World War II Europe. This move heightened tensions and led to the Berlin Airlift, where the U.S. and its allies delivered supplies to West Berlin by air, showcasing their commitment to defending Western interests. The Berlin Blockade highlighted the ideological and geopolitical divisions between the two superpowers and set the stage for further confrontations during the Cold War.
The Berlin Blockade was the Soviet Union's attempt to bring all of Berlin under communist control. They closed the roads, rail lines and water routes into Berlin to attempt to starve out the population. They didn't count on the Allies supplying Berlin by air.
Berlin Blockade was an international diplomatic crisis after the end of WW II. Soviet Union blocked road, railway and canal access to allied controlled part of Berlin. This led to a prolonged crisis during which allied forces airlifted supplies to the blockaded part. This was the first international crisis of the Cold War and practically spelled the onset of Cold War era. It was followed by major conflicts like Korean War and Vietnam War.
The blockade was more effective toward the end of the war.
