The Berlin Wall |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 to keep East Germans from fleeing their Communist state. For 28 years the wall symbolized tensions between the Soviet bloc and the West until it was torn down in 1989. This photo shows soldiers standing guard over bricklayers building the wall, top left; Germans wielding tools to dismantle the wall in 1989, top right; and a graffiti-covered gun tower standing in the rubble, bottom. | ||||||
