How did the Berlin Wall affect the people of East Berlin?

It kept them from travelling freely between East and West Berlin (and West Germany). Many people who lived on one side had relatives on the other that they were not allowed to see for years because of it. East Berlin was heavily affected by the Berlin Wall. To the people it meant that any attempt at escape could no longer happen and that they would not see their relatives for so long. It meant that the Communist East German satellite regime had complete control over them and showed that they really did not have any freedom. Tthey had a bad ecomomy and the East German government would not let them escape, The Wall was guarded by soldiers ready to shoot anyone who tried escaping. They stayed like this for twenty eight years until Ronald Reagan helped save them by convincing Mikhail Gorbychev to tear it down in 1986.


Where was Berlin wall?

following World War 2, there was a general consensus that Germany had to be controlled to prevent a future German leader from attempting to take over Europe as Hitler had attempted. Germany was divided into 3 parts, each to be monitored and controlled by either Russia, Britain or United States. The United states and Britain were pretty lax about the whole occupation era, and Western Germany was allowed autonomy in most areas, with little more than Western military presence. Berlin was divided into an east and a west section, with Russia controlling East Berlin, and the western allies controlling West Berlin. As the "cold war" started to increase, suspicions grew between Russia, which became the "Soviet Union" and the West. As conditions in East Germany (Soviet controlled) became unbearable, Germans were attempting to sneak into the more free "West Germany". To prevent that, the Soviets built a huge wall to protect their interest and to keep East Germans in the East. As the Soviet Union started to break down, It became evident to the Soviets that Germany would be United, so they finally followed President Regan's advice to "tear down this wall." In fairness to the Soviets, the Germans had caused incredible amounts of destruction and pain over the years and there was quite a bit of contempt toward the Germans. The Soviets wanted to make sure that Germany would never be strong enough to do it again. The Berlin Wall was part of that solution.It was a wall that divided East Germany and West Germany.The Berlin wall is, of corse as you can tell, a wall. It separated east Berlin from west Berlin. It was built in 1961/62.It was a wall separating Germany into two parts East, and West Berlin. East controlled by Soviet Union and the west controlled by United States, France, and Great Britain.The Berlin Wall was constructed by the Russians in 1961 in an attempt to cordon off the allied sector of West Berlin, occupied by the French, Americans, and British. The Berlin Wall stood until 1989, when it fell along with the rest of the Iron Curtain. The Berlin Wall is often used as an example of extreme isolationism, and was a serious diplomatic blow to relations between Russia and the rest of the world.The Berlin Wall was a wall erected by the Russians to separate their part of East Berlin from the Western Powers part, known as West Berlin. It was to prevent many East-Berliners crossing over to the more prosperous west. The wall also separated many families and communities.
