The Berlin Wall didn't exist until 1961.
The Berlin Wall was built to keep people from leaving.
Checkpoint Charlie was the last gate from the American side to the Communist side of Berlin, Germany
During the years the Berlin Wall divided the city in half, one side was capitalist and the other side was communist. The west side of the wall was the capitalist side.
Berlin Checkpoint Charlie was in the middle of the street on Friedrichstrasse. It was at the intersection of Friedrichstrasse and Zimmerstrasse. When you crossed Zimmerstrasse you were then in East Berlin. The Kreuzberg District of Berlin in the old American Sector. :)
The Berlin wall separated east and west Berlin
yes
Berlin. It was divided into West Berlin (capitalist) and East Berlin (communist) by the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, and East Berlin and West Berlin were formally reuinted in 1990.
West Berlin became prosperous while East Berlin struggled with communist pigheadedness and incompetence. Nobody tried to escape from West Berlin to East Berlin.
