East Berlin was the capital of Communist East Germany. However, many East Germans wanted to escape East Germany in order to find freedom in West Germany. The easiest way to do this was to cross into West Berlin, which was an enclave of West Germany that was completely surrounded by East German territory. The East German government was dismayed by the number that East Germans who were leaving East Germany and, therefore, built the Berlin Wall in 1961 in order to prevent the further hemorrhaging of population.

On August 12, 1961, approximately 2,000 East Germans fled to West Berlin before the construction of the Berlin Wall began. This mass exodus highlighted the desperation of many East Germans seeking freedom from the oppressive regime of the German Democratic Republic. The wall was erected just days later, on August 13, 1961, effectively sealing off East Berlin from the West and preventing further escapes.
