People from East Germany moved to West Germany for better opportunities. To counter this the Soviet Union built a 103-mile long wall called the Berlin Wall. The tension caused from this "Iron Curtain" as Winston Churchill referred it reflected the tension of the United States and Soviet Union.

∙ 8y agoBerlin was a divided city. The Russians arrived in Berlin before allied forces in WW2, so an agreement was made to divide Berlin and Germany into sections. The allies took 3 sections and the Russian's one. The Soviet section became East Germany and the Brandenburg gate was the crossing point between east and west. The Russians built the Berlin Wall to keep the people within East Germany and they turned the area around it into a no man's land. Allied forces and Russian forces looked at each other across this barrier until the wall came down in 1989. It could have been the flash point for a new war since all sides were sitting with tanks, guns, and forces waiting for the wrong move. The tension was always there for 60 years. Berlin was just a symbol of the tension between the two since it could physically be seen in the wall and the armed men.
