The Berlin Wall first went up in August of 1961. The Berlin wall was a gigantic structure separating the East and Western part of Germany. The east part of germany were all communist and wouldnt allow anyone who wasn't. At least 100 people were shot at the Berlin Wall attempting to get on the other side. In 1989 the Berlin Wall came crashing down. At first this was a problem but then they were able to better their financial situations.
