up with two prime candidates; John Lennon and Ronald Reagan. After researching both‚ I found some extraordinary things.

Summary of The Berlin Wall The Berlin Wall was one the most prominent symbols of the Iron Curtain that the Soviet Union had created to contain and control the people of Eastern Europe and the rest of its territory.

to me‚ I think of Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. They were both elected for two terms‚ but each of them was seen either in a positive light or a negative light. On television‚ Nixon said‚ “I am not a crook‚” but that is what he is known for even today.

The Berlin Wall separated the people of East Berlin from the people in West Berlin. It separated families‚ kept people from their jobs‚ and caused people to die. It was erected in an effort to save East Berlin’s economy‚ but in the end it did so much more. The fleeing of residents of East Berlin to West Berlin affected the Soviet Union and East Berlin in two ways. The first of which was economic. By 1958‚ 15% of the population of East Berlin had fled to West Berlin. East Berlin’s economy provided
