to force the city to turn to the Soviet Union for support
The Soviets blocked land access to West Berlin (1948–49) to pressure the Western Allies into abandoning the city or accepting Soviet demands—opposing Western currency reform and trying to make West Berlin dependent on the USSR. The Allies responded with the Berlin Airlift.
