The Berlin Airlift took place in response to **C. the Soviet Union blockade of West Berlin**.<br /><br />In 1948, the Soviet Union blocked all land and water access to West Berlin, which was located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany. This was an attempt to force the Western Allies (the US, UK, and France) to abandon West Berlin and cede control to the Soviets. In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin Airlift, a massive operation that flew in food, fuel, and other essential supplies to the city for over a year, ultimately forcing the Soviets to lift the blockade.<br />
