Question

How did the Berlin blockade contribute to Cold War tensions between the western powers and the Soviet Union

Answer:

The Western Allies were not prepared to risk armed conflict with the Soviets to open the way to West Berlin. They decided that their sectors of Berlin (west) would be supplied by air.
