The Berlin Wall was the concrete manifestation of the Iron Curtain, which signified the profound ideological difference between the capitalist, democratic Western powers and the socialist, communist Soviet Union. After WWII ended, the Allied Powers carved up defeated Germany into four blocks. They did the same to Berlin. While Russia had been part of the Allies in the war, tensions soon arose between these old allies, and the Berlin Wall was established to keep the East Berliners from seeking a brighter life in the West. The USSR claimed it was for the moral protection of its East Berlin citizens, but, in reality, it was just to stop East Berlin from hemorrhaging skilled workers to the West. Learning about history will keep you perceptive and make sure to not repeat mistakes that others made in the past. The different stories in this series will show the readers that history should not just be seen from one perspective, but from the different eyes of the groups of people involved. You never know, you might finally understand their choices, their actions and their reactions. These historical series are for anyone who wants to learn fun, exciting and influential facts of what happened years before their time. Do you want to learn history through a multitude of different eyes?
