West Berlin emerged after World War II when Germany was divided into four occupation zones controlled by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union. Tensions between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union led to the establishment of a separate West German state in 1949, while Berlin itself remained divided, with the western part surrounded by East Germany. As a result, West Berlin became an isolated enclave of democracy and capitalism within the communist East, symbolizing the broader ideological conflict of the Cold War. The city's division was further solidified with the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961.
