How did the Berlin blockade contribute to the start of the cold war?

Answer:
it increased the tension between the USSR and the West as both parties showed through the Berlin Blockade that they were firm on their stand. Stalin would not lift the blockade until Berlin was under the full control of the USSR and the USA would not stop flying supplies into Berlin until the blockade was lifted.
It was a non-violent conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union.
