Answer 1

Answer:

A. Bypass a Soviet blockade without provoking a military conflict

Explanation:

The Berlin Blockade was one of the major conflicts in the Cold War and it could have easily started a military conflict. Soviet armies have blocked passages to West Berlin (roads, canals, railways, etc) that were under the Western and US government. They wanted West Allies to withdraw Deutsche Mark and said the would drop the blockade only if that happens.

That is why the Berlin airlift was organized. By the air, the Western Allies supplied their part of the Berlin and deliver the cargo of food, medicine, fuel, and different necessities to their people of West Berlin.

Planes would take off and land every 30 seconds during the whole blockade.

This was meant to be short term solution but ended lasting around fifteen-month until transport and communication of West Berlin were returned to normal.
