Why Was The Berlin Wall Important
The Berlin Wall was a physical wall, which separated East and West Berlin during the Cold War, and ran for over 140km and was 3.6 metres high. The construction of the wall came to show the diverse ideologies between the different systems of government, and what the people thought about it. To summarise it up for you, it was a loss in human rights and freedom. But how was the Berlin Wall influential in the course of the Cold War? I will be touching on a couple of topics today to answer the hypothesis, the questions will run through why The Wall was built to how it has affected society today.
Before the impact of the Berlin Wall is examined, attention has to be drawn to the context surrounding it, including why it was erected and some minor impacts this had. The fall of The Wall in 1989 …show more content…
The trade amongst The West and East stopped and the economy was seriously affected by this. The repairs and construction of infrastructure is still currently being done and unfortunately, nothing will ever be created back to like it used to be. Politically, East Germany has managed to be more socialistic in nature, recalling the socialist safety net which once existed. West Germany remains overwhelmingly democratic.
Today, the Berlin Wall stands as a symbol of the accomplishment of freedom over oppression. The last 20 years have been recreated and visually merged perfectly back to how it used to be, so great that it takes a good eye to spot the East from the West.
To conclude my presentation today, I would like to summarise the facts and correlate directly back to my introduction. As I had stated before, the Wall came to show the different ideologies between the different systems of government, and what the people thought about it. To answer my hypothesis, the breakdown of The Wall lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union and, with it, the end of the Cold
