Berlin Wall.?

Question

a. What 2 societies did the Berlin Wall divide?
b. During what years did the Berlin Wall stand?
c. Why did people on the East side of the Wall want to get over
to the West side of the Wall?

Answer 1

a) East Berlin (in communist East Germany) and West Berlin (a dislocated part of West Germany, a democratic republic)

b) Built 1961, torn down 1989

c) East Berlin (and East Germany) was a very repressive nation in the Soviet mold, but even more repressive if that's possible! West Berlin and West Germany symbolized freedom.

Watch the German movie Good Bye, Lenin, about an East German family that must maintain the illusion the Wall still stands to protect the fragile health of their mother, who goes into a coma before the wall falls and cannot be given any severe shocks after awakening. It's an amazing and funny film.

Answer 2

a. The wall divided the Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the Federal Republic of Germany, what we used to call West Germany, from the Demokratische Republik Deutschlands, the German Democratic Republic, what we used to call Communist East Germany.
b. The wall stood from August 1961. I shall have to rely on others in these pages to say when it fell.
c. People on the East side felt unfree; they felt locked into the wrong side of a Communist/Free World conflict. This conflict locked these East Germans into a poverty-filled life. Until the rise of the wall, East Germans could board an elevated train called the S-Bahn in East Berlin and ride to West Berlin. No longer!
