The Berlin Wall divided East Berlin from West Berlin, walling in the Germans on the Eastern side so that they could not flee to the West and escape communism. The enabled the Soviet-controlled East German government to be even more oppressive. The conditions in the East continued to deteriorate while conditions in the West continued to improve. Much more could be said, but that's a quick answer. Perhaps someone else can add more. Actually, the above isn't strictly true. After the Berlin wall was built, Eastern Germany began to prosper because all of the skilled labour force had to remain on the Eastern side. Wester Germany did not benefit because of the above too. Their workforce was severely hindered. APEX_Western plans to create an independent West Germany

The people wanted to go to the Democratic side (West Berlin)
The population of Berlin were very unhappy with the Berlin wall, it was restricting people's everyday activities. People who lived in East Berlin, but worked in West Berlin and vice versa could not go to their jobs. Many people were suddenly, temporarily unemployed and struggling to find jobs to make a living and feed their families.

∙ 13y agoThe Berlin wall both physically and politically separated East and West Germany. It was the "iron curtain" en carnate. The Ruskies meant it to prevent emigration from East Germany.
It's removal was one of the major signs of the ending of the Cold War, and many view it AS the end of the Cold War.
