The Berlin Crisis (or, Berlin Blockade) of 1948-1949 was resolved through a combination of two related factors.

The second was the (very realistic and otherwise sensible) willingness of the Soviet Union to concede defeat in its bid for control of West Berlin.

The wall blockade and airlift were part of the Berlin Crisis, specifically the Berlin Blockade, which occurred from 1948 to 1949.
