The Berlin Blockade was a Soviet attempt to force the Western Allies (the United States, the United Kingdom, and France) to withdraw their forces from West Berlin. After World War II, Germany was divided into four occupation zones, and Berlin, located deep in the Soviet - occupied zone of East Germany, was also divided. The Western Allies introduced a new currency (the Deutsche Mark) in their zones of Germany and West Berlin, which the Soviets saw as a threat. By blockading all land and water routes into West Berlin (which was dependent on the West for supplies), Stalin aimed to pressure the Allies to abandon West Berlin. This would give the Soviets more control over the city and potentially all of Germany.
