In what country was the Berlin Wall located?
It separated East and West Germany ---------------- It separated, more exactly, East from West Berlin, the latter having been an enclave in what was previously East Germany. The much longer border between West and East Germany was also closely watched but it stretched over hundreds of kilometres and was not marked by a long wall. ----------------- Strictly speaking, West Berlin was not "an enclave in what was previously East Germany," since East Germany did not exist at the time the enclave was established. At the end of World War 2, Germany (which lost the war) was divided into four sectors, with responsibility for each given to one of the war's victors (USA, UK, France and the USSR). Berlin, the former German capital, was similarly divided into four sectors. In 1949, the US, French and British sectors were combined to form West Germany, with the corresponding sectors of Berlin (which were completely surrounded by the USSR-led sector of Germany) combining to form West Berlin. The Russian sector, including the Russian sector of Berlin, became East Germany. Contrary to what might have been expected, the Berlin Wall was not a defensive wall (i.e., it was not built by a defender to keep a potential invader out). Rather, it was more akin to a prison wall; it was built by East Germany to prevent East Germans from escaping to the West German enclave of West Berlin (a problem that had plagued the East German government prior to the Wall's construction), and was actually located completely within East German territory (although in most cases mere feet from the actual border).

What is the Berlin Wall used for?
The Berlin Wall was used to keep those Germans living in East Berlin from going into West Berlin and, therefore, West Germany. It was also used to keep West Germans and the American, French and British troops occupying West Germany from going into East Berlin. The wall, or in Germany referred to as Die Mauer, was built after WWII in the year 1961. Germany was divided into four sections. The French, the Americans and the British occupied the Western half and the Russians occupied the Eastern half. Berlin was the capital of Germany, therefore, it resembled the entire country, meaning it was divided in the same way the whole of Germany was divided. Today only specific sections of the wall remain standing. It officially fell in the year 1989 once again uniting the two sides of Germany. They left parts of it standing in order to commemorate those who died trying to cross over the wall in order to gain freedom from the communism the Russians brought. The wall left standing is also used to help Berliners remember their history. Where the wall has been torn down there is now a double line of bricks indicating where it once stood.
