Maggieaquino78 · Answer

The Berlin Wall was a barrier that separated East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, built by the East German government to prevent citizens from fleeing to the West. Its construction was a response to the mass migration away from communism and became a symbol of the Cold War. The Wall's fall in 1989 signified the end of the Cold War period and led to German reunification.
