Best Answer

After Wolrd War II, the Allied Forces broke Germany into occupation zones. Different countries would govern and denazify different zones while Germany remained one country. Russia had the eastern part of Germany which contained Berlin. Stalin controlled East Berlin, but West Berlin was divided between France, Britain and America. Stalin didn't want democratic influence in the middle of one of his communist puppet states. When his attempts to force the Western armies to leave failed, he surrounded West Berlin with a wall.
