Berlin Wall (aug 13, 1961 – nov 9, 1989)

Description:

On this day the Communist Government of the German Democratic Republic began building a wall that would separate Germany into east and west.

-At first it was built with concrete and barbed wire.

-It was meant to keep western fascists out of east Germany.

-The intense wall continued to stand until November 9 1989.

-It was then determined that citizens could pass over the border as they please.

-People were so happy they brought hammers to break down the wall themselves.
