After world war two Russia and the US divided Berlin into two parts as part of the treaties that were signed. People in East Berlin began to realize that their families and friends in West Berlin had more freedoms and enjoyed a better lifestyle than they had under communist rule. They began moving to the west. As a result in 1961 Russia built the wall to keep them from fleeing to the west.
