In the August of 1945,after the fall of Germany, Berlin was split into two areas. The communist East and the democratic West. A massive wall was built by the Communist east between the two in 1961, both as a literal divider and as a symbol of division. The wall represented a growing separation between both Berlin, and Germany as a whole. In the early 1980's protests began to erupt all over East Germany, started by the fleeing of many eastern Germans to their western enemies. In 1989 the Berlin wall fell, this was a historic moment for Berlin, Germany, and the entire world. Germany is unified to this day.
