What was that with the Berlin Wall?

Answer 1

The Soviets suffered great great great losses during world war 2 from the invading germans. The Soviets, vowed to never allow this to happen again.

Berlin was split up into 'zones' The American Zone, The French Zone, and the Soviet Zone. The soviets, had the biggest piece, which included all of east berlin and east germany. They put into place communism and an iron will over their people, so that the government could control it's resources into building itself up to be a very strong military power. The entire cold war itself, was a huge misunderstanding. The US and the western world saw this as aggressive tactics by the soviets, when all the soviets wanted to do was prevent another country from decimating their own again.
