After many long hard days in about a week, the wall finally came to a conclusion just like this story, the mother in law complained about it, but oh well, her voice doesn't travel that far past the thick concrete wall. :) and that was the end of the headaches.

How was Germany divided at the end of world war 2 how would this create a conflict?

Germany was conquered by an alliance of primarily four countries, Britain, France, Russia, and the US (considerable contributions to the war effort were also made by Canada and Australia but they were not the primary allies). Hence when Germany was conquered it was divided up into four sectors, one for each of these allies. The British, French, and US sectors were combined into what became West Germany, and the Russian sector became East Germany. The capital city of Berlin was located in East Germany even though part of it, West Berlin, was considered to be part of West Germany. This made it possible for East Germany to cut West Berlin off from its land based supply lines. During the Berlin Crisis, supplies had to be flown in by helicopter.

You probably mean Berlin airlift. Stalin felt it a problem that the people living in the Russian zone could see the prosperity in the other three zones (French, British, American). As he could not remove the Allies from Berlin, he ordered to close all the railroads, roads and canals that entered West Berlin through the Russian zone.This way he wanted to cut off all the supplies of food and fuel as well. In West Berlin, the only way to provide for themselves was to fly in supplies - it was called the Berlin airlift. Fortunately Stalin did not dare to shoot down the planes. This situation went on for 11 months when Stalin gave in. After the removal of the blockade, the three zones in West Berlin united and formed the German Federal Republic.

Why do you need a keyway in the construction of a wall?

typically, a keyway is found in a wall made of concrete where there is two separate pours which abut themselves, otherwise referred to as a cold joint. it makes sense to insert a concave keyway continously along the length and in the center of a section of the first wall section poured to receive an abutting concrete pour at a later date. this inserted keyway creates an interlocking style effect between the two abutting pours which creates a higher quality connection than simply butting the two pours with nothing to interconnect them.
