Five myths about the Berlin Wall

I am hoping that M. Harrison, an associate professor at the George Washington University history and international affairs, is the author of the upcoming "Berlin Wall: Memory and the Establishment of New German, 1989 - Present".

This month is 25 years after the collapse of Berlin Wall. This case was weakened not only because of its historical significance but also by interpretation, memory, and legend. A lot of people remembered the Berliners' report of delight that danced that night on the Brandenburg Gate, but it was not very clear what actually happened and what that meant. Let's overthrow the misunderstanding about the remnants of the Cold War.

In reality, there are two walls 160 yards apart, between which there are "death zones" with dogs, guard towers, floodlights, smash net, anti-vehicle obstacles, armed security guards with shooting order . This 96-mile border is surrounded by democratic capitalism West Berlin that separates it.

My theme is "collapse of Berlin Wall", communism and politics. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961. This wall was built to separate Communists in the east and the west. The Berlin Wall was built to make a heavy fort about 26 miles long. Berlin is the focus of change. The collapse of the Berlin Wall will always remember the end of the "Cold War". This made it possible for the West to enter the Middle East, leading to widespread disarray. After the terrible loss suffered during the war, the Soviet Union decided to establish a buffer zone in Eastern Europe. Between 1945 and 1948, the dictators sponsored by the Soviet commanded power in the center of the state devastated by the war in Europe. The key stage alliance in Germany The field of occupation began to be a political entity. In 1949, the governments of the western and eastern parts of Germany organized division of work on the continent and completed it.

On the west side, the Berlin Wall is regarded as the main symbol of Communist suppression. Approximately 5000 East Germans succeeded in crossing the west from the Berlin Wall, but the frequency of successful escape gradually declined as the walls got stronger. Thousands of East Germans were arrested and 191 people were murdered to cross the border. In 1989, the Communist government of the East Germany was shocked by the democratization of Eastern Europe. On the evening of 9th November 1989, East Germany announced relaxation of travel restrictions on the West and asked that thousands of people pass through the wall of Berlin. In the face of more and more demonstrations, the East German border guard opened the border. The delightful Berliners climbed the Berlin Wall, drew graffiti on them, and treated them as souvenirs. The next day, the East German Army started to dismantle the wall. East Germany and West Germany have officially reunited in 1990.
