The main cause of the Berlin Blockade was the Cold War, which was just getting started. Stalin was taking over eastern Europe by salami tactics and Czechoslovakia had just turned Communist (March 1948). On the other side, the USA had just adopted the Truman Doctrine to contain the USSR.
The building of the Berlin Wall was ordered by Walter Ulbricht, leader of the East German communist SED party (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands-Socialist Unity Par â¦ ty of Germany). The main reason for building the Berlin Wall was to prevent a brain drain from East Germany to West Germany. In 1961, East Germany closed the border and built the Wall dividing West Berlin from East Berlin. The area of East Berlin was the Sovjet zone, while West Berlin was compounded of the French, British and U.S. zones.   The Eastern Bloc, under the control of the USSR, fell in 1989, as did the infamous Wall.
