Berlin Wall
The most talkative event that will start during the Cold War would be the construction of the Berlin Wall. It all began when WWII is ending, when the allies would take action about conquered Germany. There decision would be splitting the country into West Berlin and East Berlin. West Germany would consist of the U.S., French and British control. As East Germany would be controlled by the Soviet Union. W. Berlin would have a Federal Republic of Germany and E. Berlin would have a German Democratic Republic. Living conditions between the two will be much different.
West Germany economy would be a healthy and well. As East Germany would have a suffering economy and education being moved to W. Berlin. In the late 50’s, citizens in East Germany will began revolts and by the end 3 million people will leave E. Germany and go to W. Germany. These action will be the start of the Berlin Wall.
The Berlin Wall will be constructed on August 12th - 13th, 1961. That night, East Germany will bring in truck and soldiers to tare up roads and replace them with concrete post with strung barbed wire surrounding the wall. This wall will stretch about 96 miles to separate West and East Germany. In the end the wall will be 15 feet high, barbed wires and graffiti all over it.
This making East Germany citizens want to escape into West Germany. These escape attempts consisted of climbing over the wall to building tunnels. This will all lead up to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The fall of the wall started when revolts forced the government to renew there stalinistic system. This will cause the Hungarian and Austria to oped the iron curtain making East Germany open the gates into West Germany.
