The Berlin Wall 1961
Devided, run by democracies.
Eastern half, under communism was poor, and didn’t have the same infrastructure the west did.
People had been fleeing to the west through Berlin for many years “Brain Drain”
Krushchev recognized this and wanted kennedy to pull out and thought one of the ways he could do that would be to build a wall around the western half of the city, and this literally happened over night.. eventually expanded.
Kennedy was a big supporter of Berlin
“Ich bin ein Berliner” I Am a donugt
