∙ 12y agoThe Berlin Wall was built in 1961. Between 1949 and 1961, more than 2 and a half million people left East Germany for the West through east Berlin. The communist government of the East Germany was worried about this trend. Overnight, the East was cut off from the West, with Berlin split into two halves. The berlin wall isolated the communist East even more, and support grew for West Berlin. The situation got even worse when the USSR caught the USA spying on them.
