The Berlin blockade, which began in 1948, was the first major test of Truman's containment policy. The Soviet Union blocked all land access to West Berlin, which was under Allied control, in an attempt to force the Allies to abandon the city. Truman responded by launching a massive airlift of supplies to the people of West Berlin, demonstrating the United States' commitment to supporting its European allies and resisting Soviet aggression.
