The Berlin Wall was an important event that happened during the Cold War that I did know had as many details as it did. A lot went on during this time when they built the wall they separated East and West Berlin. The Eastern half of Berlin was considered the communist side rather than the West side was non-communistic. I did not know that they built it from people that were trying to flee to the West side of Berlin. Also they built it so people couldn't leave during the Cold War because communism was rising at the time. A lot of the people in East Berlin didn't want to live under the rules of the Soviets so they left to the West. The Soviets and the Eastern Berlin leaders got worried about people leaving as their population was degrading. So that's when they decided to build a wall so others could not leave to the West side and would have to stay on whatever side they were on. The wall separated lots of families and they couldn't see each other till 1989 and the wall was build in 1961. That't something I didn't know that they couldn't go see family if they were on the opposite side as them.
