why was the birlin wall built?

Answer 2

the berlin wall was built in 1961 because when the Americans reached berlin from the west and Russia from the east. both sides halted even though all of berlin was under US control east of the city. eisenhower made the mistake to pull the western allied troops back into the city. the Russian then demanded part control over the city they divided it into 4 sections 1 for US, 1 for Britain, 1 for France,1 for Russia. all but russia ended up consolidating the sections under US control and building a line around what became west germany. That line had mines on top guard tower w/ snipers, ringed w/ barbed wire, and patroled on both sides by armed k-9 units. throughout the entire time people had been digging tunnels under the line from Russian Germany to US Germany and smuggeling people thru. and thru car check points by pulling out back seats hollowing them out and putting people in them

Answer 3

First of all Im not sure there is a place called birlin, I know of Berlin. The Wall was built because of political powers of Germany conflicting. It was a way to keep them seperated and prevent defectors from crossing over.

Answer 4

1961—89, a barrier first erected in Aug., 1961, by the East German government along the border between East and West Berlin, and later extended along the entire border between East Germany and West Germany. It was built to halt large numbers of defections and to prevent E. Berliners commuting to the West. Erected at a time of growing tension between East and West, the barbed wire was eventually replaced by concrete topped with wire. In 1989, after hundreds of thousands of East Germans had fled westward via Hungary and Czechoslovakia, on Nov. 9, the beleaguered East German regime lifted travel restrictions, and days later dismantling of the wall began. Built to keep people in, the wall was dismantled in a failed gamble by the Communists to keep power. By Jan., 1990, the regime was selling large slabs of the wall for hard currency, and had set December for its total demolition. In Oct., 1990, however, East Germany was formally reabsorbed into the Federal Republic of Germany and only short sections of the wall remained standing, as memorials.
