In 1961 the Berlin Wall

In 1961 there was a crisis in berlin. Tanks Soviet and American tanks faced at Checkpoint Charlie, the cannon dlm viewing position. Comments berlin one resident at a time "when there are idle turn on firecrackers wrote, we are toast" was so tense situation at the time. Then, the American and Soviet talks to resolve the crisis. In fact this is the game Ulbricht to reap the benefits. East German dictator then strengthen the berlin wall, set a trap for vehicles, nail boards to prevent the escape jump.

Many attempts were made citizens desperate to cross to the east berlin west. Even the stakes are life threatening. There was a build underground tunnels, makes hot air balloon, even using light aircraft. There is also early days when the Berlin Wall was still in the form of barbed wire, a lot of people desperate to jump the fence wire has 2 layers tersebut.Tembok berlin wall. Between the two walls there is a "no man's land" area where the fugitive was shot dead on the spot. "No man's land" comes minefield, automatic machine gun nests, guard dog alert, alarm fitted to wire reply. Carrying more than 200 people were killed in no man's land berlin wall, mostly because they were shot dead east German border guards.

Broadly speaking, the berlin wall in the form of barbed wire, barbed wire which modernized, concrete walls, no man's land, and the second wall. Which became iconic is the fourth tier wall, which was built in 1975 by Erich Honecker, east German dictator successor Ulbricht. Erich Honecker optimistic, berlin wall will stand up to 100 years. Honecker even made a program called "Wall 2000". "Wall 2000" is a program of digitizing system of the state border and the border of the Berlin Wall which aims to reduce the manpower and costs. "Wall 2000" will be equipped with various sensors and detectors, smart minefield, to spray chemicals to stop the run. Guaranteed there will be no escapees who will try to penetrate the walls of the Berlin Wall and German state border west-east.

The core of the system "wall 2000" is a variety of sensors such as heat sensors, motion sensors detect even the voice sensor breakout For who hide. And No Man's land is maintained, deliberately coated sand to detect footprints of the breakout with ease. Actually, the guards were instructed to pretend guns knows that he saw footprints in no man's land. New shoot later. "Wall 2000" null built following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the dissolution of the eastern German and tore down the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, when the peaceful revolution throughout Germany began to burst.

Initially, neighboring countries open borders, so that hundreds of thousands of east Germans fled to countries such as Hungary and austria. Following the German government's decision which states that every citizen east east germany can freely travel anywhere. Stupidly at a press conference, the government said the government's decision comes into force immediately. This is a fatal error. As a result, hundreds of thousands of citizens stormed the east berlin Checkpoint Charlie and broke into the west berlin. Erich Honecker desperate lowered its police force to dispel the citizens who tried to escape.

Prior to the construction of this wall, there are approximately 3.5 million East Germans who migrated and defected to the West, one of them by passing the border of East Germany and West Germany, and then they can go to other Western European countries. Between 1961 and 1969, this wall also prevents it. In the span of about 30 years, there are about 5,000 people who tried to escape, with no estimate of 100 to 200 people who died from being shot.

In 1989, there were radical political changes in the Eastern Bloc, which is related to the liberalization of the system of authority in the Eastern Bloc, and also began to decrease the influence of the Soviet Union in countries such as Poland and Hungary. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced November 9, 1989 that the people of East Germany should go to West Germany and West Berlin. Thus, crowds of East Germans were crossed and climb the wall, followed by West Germans on the other hand to celebrate the atmosphere of freedom. A few weeks later, euphoric public and souvenir hunters finally cracked parts of the wall. Later, most of the wall was destroyed by the government using heavy equipment. The Fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way formation of the German reunification, October 3, 1990.



After allowing a gap for the residents to cross the border in the summer, Hungary finally effectively eliminate the physical barrier country with Austria on 19 August 1989. In September, more than 13,000 East Germans fled to Austria via Hungary. This led to several series of subsequent events. The Hungarian prevent a growing number of East Germans who crossed the border, and return them to Budapest.

East German People's meets West German embassy and refused to return to East Germany. East German government responded by closing all the way to Hungary, but still allow those who want to return to East Germany. On this occasion, the East German authorities to allow them to go, as long as they use the train must pass through East Germany. Then came the massive demonstrations in East Germany itself. East German leader Erich Honecker, resigned on October 18, 1989 and was replaced by Egon Krenz a few days later. Honecker had predicted that the walls were still will last until 50 or 100 years from now, if the condition of the country has not changed.

Protest demonstrations broke out across East Germany in September 1989. At first, the protesters wanted to go westward, chanting "Wir wollen raus!" ("We want to go!"). But then the protesters began shouting "Wir bleiben hier" ("We will stay here!"). So, this is the beginning of what is called the East Germans as "Peaceful Revolution" at the end of 1989. The protesters increasingly large in early November. The protesters peaked on November 4, when nearly half a million people gathered at Alexanderplatz demonstration.

Meanwhile, the refugees who left East Germany to West Germany is increasing, and they found a new way to get out of East Germany, which is the way through Hungary via Czechoslovakia (or via the West German Embassy in Prague) are allowed by the new Krenz government, and with the approval of the Czechoslovak communist government. So that the state is not more complicated, finally politburo led by Krenz allow refugees to exit directly through the border between East Germany and West Germany, including West Berlin on November 9, 1989.

Date when the walls were chipped is 9 November 1989, but then the wall is not directly destroyed immediately. In the afternoon, and a few weeks later, people came carrying a sledgehammer and the like to destroy some walls and also create some holes unofficial border. These people are referred to as "Mauerspechte" (wall woodpeckers).

Back East German regime announced that it will open 10 new border crossings, including at several historic sites such as Potsdamer Platz, Glienicker Brücke, and Bernauer Straße. The masses of the two sides waited for hours, cheering when the bulldozers destroy this wall. The door opened a new frontier continued throughout 1990, including the Brandenburg Gate dated December 22, 1989.

Residents of West Germany and West Berlin East Germany allowed entry without a visa from 23 December 1989. Until that date, they are only allowed to enter with a variety of requirements and are required to make an application for a visa. In addition, they were required to pay a minimum of 25 DM per day. So, in fact on November 9 and 23 December, the East German population is more free than West Germany.

Coverage on television about the many people who destroyed the walls of November 9, makes a lot of people abroad think that this wall will be destroyed as soon as possible. Actually, this wall is maintained until a few days later, although the intensity of the smaller guard. In the first month, the East German military even tried to fix the back wall that was destroyed by the "trigger wall". Then, over time, this action was stopped, and the guards more tolerant to the action of the destruction of the walls and goings of residents through the wall of the hole. Dated January 13, 1990, this wall was destroyed by the official East German military, starting at Bernauer Straße. The destruction of this wall back forward after German reunification until finally completed in November 1991.

Only a few parts of the walls and towers were maintained, as a memorial. The fall of the Berlin Wall was the beginning of the reunification of Germany, which was signed on October 3, 1990. The collapse of the Berlin Wall This illustrates that the power of the merging of man in this world is unmatched strength as pharmaceutics resistance encountered.
