After World War II, as Cold War tensions slowly increased, the Soviet Union and the major Western powers came into conflict over the occupation of Germany and various other issues. The situation escalated dramatically in 1961, with the erection of the "Berlin Wall" by the Soviet Union in response to the West's continued support of West Germany and the massive defections by East Germans via West Berlin itself.
