At the end of WW2 Berlin was divided into 4 sectors. One of the sectors became East Germany (German Democratic Republic) and was controlled by Russia. In order to keep its people inside its borders the Berlin Wall was pre-fabricated and erected and guarded by the Russians. There was a checkpoint called Checkpoint Charlie that on one side was the West and the other the East. To enter East Germany people had to go through the checkpoint into communist East Germany. This was the cold war.
