5 Berlin Wall: 1961 In a masterfully-planned operation, spanning just 24 hours, the streets of Berlin were torn up, barricades of paving stones were erected, tanks were gathered at crucial places and subways and local railway services were interrupted, so that within a day the West of Berlin was completely sealed off from the East. As of that same day inhabitants of East Berlin and East Germany were no longer allowed to enter the West of the city (including the 60,000 who had been commuters).

6 Berlin Wall built to stop East Germans from fleeing to the west!

7 The wall was built to split East and West Berlin in 1961 and stood until 1989. About 100-200 people were killed trying to cross over, under, or through this wall to join their families and friends on the other side. It eventually extended for over 100 miles.
