Explanation

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) to prevent citizens from fleeing to the West. It symbolized the division of Germany and the Cold War tensions between East and West. The wall represented the political and ideological divides of the era, marking the boundaries between the socialist East and the capitalist West.
