Explanation.

The Berlin Wall was not built immediately after the Second World War. Rather it was constructed during the Cold War in the 1960s. With the downfall of Germany after the Second World War, the country was divided into four zones – Soviet, American, British and French. West Germany comprising French, British and American zones was a full-fledged capitalist economy, while East Germany consisting of the Soviet Union was a socialist republic. Because of the increasing migration and other political and economic issues. Berlin Wall was built in 1961 between East Germany and West Germany. It symbolised the division between the capitalist and the communist world. The wall was broken by the people on 9 November 1989. It marked the unification of the two parts of Germany.
