This is actually two questions.
Why they divided Berlin: Berlin was the capital of Germany during World War II. After the war, the victorious powers of the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union divided Berlin into three sectors. France objected to being left out of the post-war division of Germany (with good reason - the Nazis were highly cruel to France) and was given a small sector in the middle of town. Very shortly after the French were assigned a sector the sector was moved, before they were able to construct a garrison, because in the original French sector stood a monument called the Siegessaule. It was built to commemorate the Germans defeating the French in a war several centuries before, and the French planned to blow it up. Fortunately, we got them a new sector before they were able to and the Siegessaule is still there.
Why the Berlin Wall was constructed: East Germans were leaving for West Germany in droves. I don't think the East German Communist Party really cared if store clerks and ditch diggers left, except that their leaving encouraged others of the "worker and farmer" class to leave too. They DID mind that the engineers, doctors and other high skill workers were leaving quicker than the workers and farmers were. So...the East Germans built two border fences to keep people from leaving. One was the Berlin Wall, which you know about. The other was the inter-German border between East Germany and West Germany, over 100 miles to the west of Berlin.
