The Fall of the Berlin The Berlin wall is a very significant point within history. It began quickly after World War II; Berlin was separated and conquered into four different zones. Each part was owned by Great Britian, France, the United States, or the Soviet Union. Eventually three of these zones (owned by the United States, Great Britain, and France) combined to become West Germany. The Soviet Union hastily followed after these three zones but instead became East Germany. The difference between

administrated solely by The Soviet Union. Berlin the capital of both East and West Germany was further divided into two zones much like Germany itself with a democratic West administrated by NATO and A communistic East administrated by the Soviet Union. This was problematic however as the capital is completely surrounded by East Germany. This would lead to a series of increasing border tension between the East and West that would eventually lead to the construction of The Berlin Wall. Following the partitioning

The Cold War: Lessons Learned After World War II, continuing tensions between the United States of America and primarily, the Soviet Union caused the Cold War. The Cold War lasted from 1945 to 1991, the Cold War is defined as a bitter, typically non-military conflict between the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and America. The Soviet Union and the United States had contrasting views about most things, including political systems, economic systems and societal values. At the end of the Cold War

He saw the war first hand, but only as a child, and was therefore unable to truly grasp the events at the time. Later, however, he became

The most highlighted event that made Cold Was as a division was Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall erected in 1961 in order to divide West and East Berlin permanently. According to the article John F. Kenedy “Ich bin ein Berliner”, the wall was twelve-foot-high and stretched for a hundred miles. It prevented anyone from crossing into West Berlin and thus to freedom

very slow. West Berlin became a booming metropolis, sculpted after North American capitalist cities, while East Berlin suffered massive population shifts away from the east. In most city grocery stores, the shelves remained half-empty and the goods available were meager in value. Typically, these goods remained unattainable for the ordinary citizens. It was a comparable situation in East Germany, but it was most visible in East Berlin ("USSR", Encarta). Although East Berlin did maintain a somewhat

Walls that divide are destined to be destroyed. In August of 1961, the Berlin Wall was erected for one sole purpose: to prevent the emigration of East Berliners and Germans to the democratic West Berlin. However, the wall did more than just this; for twenty-eight years it separated friends, neighbors, and even families. The Berlin Wall was one of the most powerful symbols of the Cold War until its fall and marked the fall of communism in Europe. Focusing on its emotional and physical impact on Germany

President Kennedy’s name is associated with the invasion of the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall.

KGB agent Illya Kuryakin (Armie Hammer) is sent on the same mission for the Soviet Union, but fails to stop Napoleon and Gabby from escaping over the Berlin Wall.
