Berlin+Wall+3

Berlin Wall

As you can see in these pictures, there was a lot of barbed wire around the wall to keep everyone in and not try to escape. Some people did try to escape and they were shot and killed. The wall was built so that the people would stop trying to flee. People did it anyway so that they could go to the other side, where there family and friends were. People actually did help get the others over the side which you can see in the picture above. There was also a lot of graffiti all over the Berlin wall on both sides because people did not like it. So they actually started to vandalize it and try to take it down.

===The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to stop the low-paid people of Eastern Germany from fleeing to West Germany in an attempt to escape Communism. The wall was built along the border of East and West Germany. It was the Soviet Union's last attempt to control the East Germans from leaving East Germany.===

===The Berlin Wall had a major impact on Germany and its people. It made life under communism worse than before. Many were killed in various attempts to get out of East Germany. But only 5,000 people were successful in making it over the wall. Within the walls 30 year history, about 100 people were killed for trying to get to West Berlin. While all of this was happening, the security of the wall became tighter to insure none would pass. Finally, the people became more, and more desperate to escape East Germany and the rule of the Soviets.===
