After WW2 the Soviet Union, France, Britain and America all shared the city of Berlin Germany as one, or so everyone thought. The soviets always tried to hamper and during the "cold war" used the city as a crutch to create problems. They sealed off the city in about 1948 during one of the worst winters and, the United States made on of the biggest loads of planes to haul coal in the then, history. Thousands of B-24 bombers, formerly fighting machines, now hauled bags of coal to the residents of Berlin during that cold winter and, showed the Soviets that we couldn't be stopped.

During the early 60's the Soviets once again lined the Brandenburg gate (Checkpoint Charlie) with their tanks, we faced them off with our might and faced them down, ready to strike back the minute they moved. The Soviets again, backed down.

The Soviets continually used the City of Berlin during the cold war to harass the four powers and continued until the wall came down.

Didn't you read the chapter? It was all in there as plain as the morning sun. The Sovite's did enter the ference and caused the wall in Berlin to collapse.
Or wait maybe it was the Soviet Union's interference in West Germany. I don't know I can't remember.
But if you ask a vague question you will get a vague answer.
Put it together better so we know what you are asking!
But besides that you ARE on the Internet so did you even think about doing a search on "The History of the Berlin Wall"?
Well that much I can do for you!
