It didn't. The two events were complex enough that I can't really do them justice here, but I'll try.
The Berlin Blockade started in 1949. Generalissimo Stalin was still General Secretary of the Soviet Union, and he wanted ALL of Germany to be under Soviet domination. The reason is very simple: The Soviet Union is close to completely landlocked. They've got one warm-water port (a port that doesn't freeze over in winter hence can be used year-round) to their name and it's in Vladivostok - hence nearly useless. West Germany has several warm water ports. Stalin wanted it. Stalin's intent was to first force the Allies out of West Berlin, then out of West Germany.
The Berlin Wall was East Germany's attempt to keep all the doctors in the country from fleeing.

What year did the blockade that led to the Berlin wall begin?
If you are talking about the Berlin Blockade it came long before the Berlin wall was built. The famous Berlin Blockade began in June 1948 and didn't end until May 1949. The Berlin Blockade was the result of the Soviets blocking all roads between West Berlin and West Germany, meaning there was no supply of food to West Berlin. This led to the Berlin Airlift where the western powers dropped food parcels into West Berlin. The Berlin Wall wasn't built until 1961,due to the fact that many East Berliners were escaping to West Berlin due to the better living conditions in the west. Although this had been going on for years. In the day before the wall was erected 5000 people fled East Berlin. The first wire version of the wall was built overnight and separated east and West Berlin for 29 years until it was torn down in 1989. I hope this helps.
