He set up a blockade of Berlin.
A continuous airlift of goods from Western Germany to Berlin.
Stalin started the Berlin Blockade in 1948 as a first step in a plan to pull West Germany into the Soviet sphere of influence. He expected West Berlin to eventually begin accepting supplies from Soviet East Germany, effectively bringing all of Berlin under Soviet control. He believed that if he could control Berlin, West Germany would soon follow.
The first move was when Joseph Stalin (leader of Russia) ordered the blockage of the land route from Berlin to west Germany. (The Berlin wall.)
