Subsequent to Germany's complete defeat in World War II, the world's two new super-powers -- the United States and the Soviet Union -- came to be engaged in a 'Cold War' that featured (among other things) recurring tensions over control of Germany. Especially in 1948-1949 and then again in 1961, West and East nearly erupted in war over the desire of each to retain control of key portions of occupied German territory.

The Berlin Wall was the important Cold War symbol that was destroyed in Germany in 1989. It was a physical barrier that separated East Berlin from West Berlin and symbolized the division between the democratic and communist worlds during the Cold War. Its demolition marked the reunification of East and West Germany and the end of the Cold War era.
Germany and Berlin were symbols of the Cold War due to their division into East and West, representing the broader ideological conflict between communism and capitalism. After World War II, Germany was split into East Germany (supported by the Soviet Union) and West Germany (aligned with the West), while Berlin, located deep within East Germany, was similarly divided. The Berlin Wall, erected in 1961, became a powerful symbol of the struggle between the two superpowers, encapsulating the tensions of the Cold War era and the fight for ideological supremacy. The city's eventual reunification in 1990 marked a significant turning point in the Cold War's conclusion.
Germany was divided after World War II into East Germany (the German Democratic Republic) and West Germany (the Federal Republic of Germany). This division became a significant source of tension during the Cold War, symbolizing the ideological battle between the communist East and the democratic West. The Berlin Wall, erected in 1961, became a powerful symbol of this division and the broader conflicts of the era. The reunification of Germany in 1990 marked the end of this division and the Cold War tensions associated with it.
