Descrição:

Construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13th, 1961, led by the Communist government of East Germany. It became a symbol of the Cold War, as it divided West Berlin from Communist East Berlin. While the Communist government said it was to prevent Western ideology from spreading into their socialist state, it mainly served the purpose of preventing those living in East Berlin from escaping into free West Berlin.
