Through research, I learned that the Berlin Wall was built to prevent East Germans from crossing over into the West. It was constructed in 1961. It lasted almost thirty years as a symbol between the Communists and the non-Communists.n 1991 the wall had been completely knocked down and Germany was reunited. The Berlin Wall was torn down due to political changes in Europe; Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev lost his control by 1990, and the Soviet Union fell apart.
