What caused the Berlin crisis?

Cold War politics between, in the media oversimplification, Khrushchev on the Soviet Side and Kennedy on the US and Western side ( Ich Bin ein Berliner- I am a Berliner!) went the slogan. the crisis ultimately culminated in the erection and fortification of the now-defunct Berlin wall. While Berlin was a divided city since the end of War II (and there were separate US, British, French, and Soviet sectors, the infamous wall was not actually erected until after l96l. Thus the Berlin WALL proper did not figure in the Berlin airlift in the late forties.


Why did east Berlin and west Berlin divide?

Nothing now. The former Soviet Union (USSR) built the Berlin Wall in 1961 to divide Communist East Berlin, which was under Soviet control, from free West Berlin, which was under German control. The purpose was to prevent residents of East Germany from fleeing poverty and an oppressive government, and escaping into West Germany.The Berlin Wall began to be torn down on November 9, 1989. East and West Germany completed reunification into a single country, Germany, on October 3, 1990.


How did the fall of the Berlin Wall affect Berlin?

The Berlin Wall The Berlin Wall had first been put up as a sign of communist defiance against the west and was (as Winston Churchill said) like an iron curtain across the whole of Europe. The wall was designed to keep the west out and the pro-capitalists in.The Fall of the Berlin WallThe Berlin Wall fell on November 9th 1989 and signified the unification of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the end of communism in Germany as a whole.What affect did it have on Communism?The fall of the Berlin Wall was showed the Communism was collapsing and that the people of eastern Europe were free from the communist dictatorships that had repressed them for nearly half a century. The Berlin Wall's collapse most likely sped up the collapse of communism in it's builder; the USSR [Union of Soviet Socialist Republics - now Russia]. It also led to the Eastern Block or Communist Block dissolving and becoming capitalist. Without this one significant event the whole process may have taken decades longer.
