Detailed explanation-1: -The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer, pronounced [bɛʁˌliːnɐ ˈmaʊ̯ɐ] ( listen)) was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin and East Germany (GDR). Construction of the Berlin Wall was commenced by the government of the GDR on 13 August 1961.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing and stop an economically disastrous migration of workers. It was a symbol of the Cold War, and its fall in 1989 marked the approaching end of the war.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fifty years ago, on Aug. 12, 1961, East German State Council Chairman Walter Ulbricht signed an order to erect the wall and by midnight, construction had begun. The wall, dotted with guard towers, was intended to prevent East Germans from emigrating to the West.
