| What role did the Berlin Wall play in the Cold War, and how did its fall symbolize the end of an era? This book explores the history of the Berlin Wall, built in 1961 by the German Democratic Republic to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the West. The narrative examines how the Wall became a powerful symbol of the division between the communist East and the capitalist West during the Cold War. It discusses the political, social, and personal impacts of the Wall, as well as the failed attempts by East Germans to escape. By focusing on the events leading up to the Wall’s fall in 1989, the book highlights how its collapse marked the end of the Cold War and symbolized the triumph of democracy over authoritarianism, sparking the reunification of Germany and the spread of democratic ideals across Eastern Europe. |
