Presentation transcript:

By Jessica Flynn 1950-89 Cold War Germany

West Germany: Pre-wall Joined NATO (1955) A place of economic growth Wirtschaftswunder (1955) Joined the European Economic Community (1957)

East Germany: Pre-wall The Soviet Union had seized most of their industrial equipment so their economic conditions were dire 1953 Uprising: 40,000 construction workers revolted but were suppressed by Soviet troops June 17 became a national holiday in remembrance in FDR Joined the Warsaw Pact (1955)

1958: Nikita Khrushchev demanded all Western troops leave West Berlin within 6 months. Unlike the Blockade in 1948, the city was too large to be supported via air shipments, so it became a concern how it was to be dealt with. They came to a temporary agreement in Geneva, but tensions rose again after the U2 incident in 1960. Eisenhower refused to give in and met with Khrushchev in Austria (1961) for discussion which did not lead to any resolutions. Instead, a wall was erected and Soviet and American troops stood on either side of the wall in a stand-off manner. 1958-61 The Berlin Crisis

The Berlin Wall (August 31, 1961) Despite Ulbricht’s claims that there was “no intention to build a wall”, an “anti-fascist protection barrier” is erected regardless The Berlin Wall (August 31, 1961) 1961

Life in East Germany Farmers were forced to divide their land between each other equally and give up their harvests to the people Monetary award system for having children Stasi (1950) Secret police force similar to the Gestapo Youth Groups Thälmann Pionier Frei Deutsche Jugend Military training one month each year Culture Socialist realism German-centric

Party Opposition West Germany RAF KBW East Germany Guerilla army force that caused 289 bombings KBW A Maoist organisation East Germany Barely any opposition as fear was prevalent Towards the end, Monday Demonstrations were common

Kennedy’s speech to West Berlin to address the US’s standpoint in regards to the Wall and their unchanging support to the FDR “Ich bin ein Berliner!” 1963

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Ronald Reagan stood in the same place as Kennedy had and demanded for the completion of the arms race and called for the fall of the Berlin Wall “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” 1980

Fall of the Berlin Wall 9 November,1989 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8GzptqhT68 Günter Schabowski was late to a press conference in which he was supposed to announce that East Germans were now able to apply for a travel visa into West Germany, but he made it seem like every East German could leave immediately, hence reuniting the two halves of Germany.
