The Berlin Conference of 1884â85 was a meeting between European nations to create rules on how to peacefully divide Africa among them for colonization. The conference was convened by Portugal but led by Otto von Bismarck, chancellor of the newly united Germany. Though invited, the U.S. declined to participate.
The building of the Berlin Wall was ordered by Walter Ulbricht, leader of the East German communist SED party (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands-Socialist Unity Par â¦ ty of Germany). The main reason for building the Berlin Wall was to prevent a brain drain from East Germany to West Germany. In 1961, East Germany closed the border and built the Wall dividing West Berlin from East Berlin. The area of East Berlin was the Sovjet zone, while West Berlin was compounded of the French, British and U.S. zones.   The Eastern Bloc, under the control of the USSR, fell in 1989, as did the infamous Wall.
