👮 A West Berlin police officer stands in front of the concrete wall dividing East and West Berlin at Bernauer Strasse as East Berlin workers add blocks to increase the height of the East German barrier October 7, 1961 @facethenation
❓Why was the Berlin Wall built?
After the Second World War, the Allied forces (France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union) occupied Germany and its capital, Berlin 🇩🇪.
When the Soviet Union imposed the Berlin Blockade in 1948, major tensions between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union came to light. Fear of the Communist regime led increasing numbers of East Germans to emigrate 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️ to West Germany.
The Soviet Union decided to build a physical barrier between East and West Berlin. Work began in the early hours of August 13, 1961.
The Berlin Wall became the symbol of the Cold War and a tangible manifestation of the world’s separation into two distinct ideological blocs.
