In response to the plans for the unification of the western zones in Germany, the Soviets began the Berlin blockade in 1948, which involved shutting down all land access to the city of Berlin, hoping to starve the population into submission. The Western Allies responded with the Berlin airlift to supply the city with food, fuel, and other necessities. The Berlin Wall was built later in 1961 as a physical separation between East and West Berlin, but it was not a direct response to the plans for the unification of the western zones in Germany.
