Crisis in Berlin

• The problem Those wishing to escape the
  oppressive communist government in East Germany
  went to West Berlin and from there went to West
  Germany.
• 20 of all Germans living in East Germany did
  this greatly weakening the economy of East
  Germany.
• Khrushchev had to stop Germans from leaving the
  East to save the Communist government there.
• Khrushchev threatened to blockade West Berlin
  like Stalin had done. Realizing that this could
  lead to war, what he did was build a Wall around
  West Berlin to keep East Germans from moving to
  West Germany.
