aug 13, 1961 - Berlin Wall is Built

Description:

A concrete wall covered in barbed wire built between east and west Germany with the purpose of keeping western Germans out of east Germany and to prevent east Germans from migrating to the west. This event is mostly related to the concept of containment because the communists did not want the influence of the west to spread.
