The Berlin Airlift is due to the Soviet Union stoppage of Berlin.The Soviet Union wanted to control Berlin, which caused them to close all highways, railroads, and canals for Western Germany. So the U.S. and Britain shipped 2.3 million tons of supplies by air to residents in the Western- controlled parts of Berlin. The U.S. and Britain did this to respond back to the Soviet blockade.http://www.searchquotes.com/search/Berlin_Airlift/
