Title: The Berlin wall


1
The Berlin wall
  • By Sacha De Wilde
  • Jose Moucho
  • Vladimir Kubyshkin

2
What is the Berlin Wall?
  • The Berlin wall was a key point to the cold war.
    It was raised in 1961 down the middle of Berlin.
    It divided Berlin into two, East and West. The
    wall was originally raised to prevent people from
    defecting.

East and West Berlin
  • East and West Berlin were like two separate
    countries, West Berlin was controlled by the U.S,
    the U.K and France. East Berlin was controlled by
    the U.S.S.R. East and West Berlin had separate
    currency, government and police forces, they were
    like completely different countries.

4
The rest of Germany
  • The rest of Germany was split into East and
    West ( the East controlled by the U.S.S.R and the
    West was controlled by the U.S, the U.K and
    France) Berlin however was located in the middle
    of East Germany so West Berlin was completely
    surrounded by the U.S.S.R. This made it extremely
    hard for West Berlin to Communicate with their
    home countries.

5
How were Supplies received?
  • With West Berlin completely surrounded they
    desperately needed supplies from their home
    countries such as coal and flour. In order to get
    these, home countries had to fly over enemy
    territory, over 80 planes flew each day. This was
    known as the Berlin Airlift.

6
The end of Berlin wall
  • The Berlin wall finally came down on November
    9th 1989, this day was celebrated all over the
    world and brought an end to the division of Berlin
