Germany was not always the peaceful country it is today. Germany was divided in 1945 after their defeat in World War II. East Germany was communist, and West Germany was non-communist. The government of East Germany restricted all access to West Berlin in 1961, during the cold war. Overnight, they built the Berlin wall to keep West Germans out, and East Germans in. Families were separated, and they became completely different countries. Their ways of living were very different as well. The East…

By 1961, Berlin had long been a symbol of autonomy and endurance to Communist expansionism during the Cold War. The beginning stages of the Berlin crisis began in 1945, which marked the end of World War Two. Amid the ruins of Germany, the country was divided into four administrative sectors, one for each of the three victorious combatants, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and by special dispensation the French. Berlin, as a capital city, was divided similarly into four subdivisions.…

Ronald Reagan's most famous address is undoubtedly the “Tear Down This Wall” speech. In his oration, Reagan used bias to support his argument. Reagan tailored his speech towards his intended audience. His audience was filled by Western Europeans who agreed with him and Eastern Europeans who did not. President Reagan included facts to support his position. First he said, quoting George Marshall, “Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger poverty, desperation…

Construction on the Berlin Wall began on August 13th, 1961 (Staff,…

However, the plain folks appeal comes in when he later on states “Es gibt nur ein Berlin” (par. 5) and this technique is comparable to Kennedy’s declaration, “Ich bin ein Berliner” (par. 2). This shared use of rhetoric allowed them to relate to their audience so they would accept the government officials as one of their own; people that could be…

talk about the poor relationship between the two countries and to find a resolution to their many problems. Secondly, the Berlin Wall was a physical concrete and wire wall that was constructed by communist East Germany’s government to stop East Berliners from rebelling and moving to the West. At this period in time, the United States was still fearful of Communism and discussing each country’s issues with one another did not help the stressful situation as it was intended to. Also occurring…

It can be said that the biggest force that divided the West and the East was the different political views between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

“ Ich bin ein Berliner!” This is what our 35th president John F. Kennedy said to the citizens of Berlin in June of 1963. Calling himself a jelly filled doughnut.

disks to play recorded audio out loud. It was originally intended for the use of business documentation, but when that failed, music became the new idea. In fact, it was such a good idea that Emile Berliner invented the disc record or "gramophone". Although Edison thought of creating a disc phonograph, Berliner was the one who really got the ball rolling. Part of Berliner’s reasoning in this invention was his ability to make a large profit by their mass production. In 1893 he began selling his…
