Answer:

It was a symbol of division and most people in Berlin were terrified with the division that the Wall created.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When the Wall was erected in 1961. it became a symbol of divided Europe. Communist authorities totally controlled the city and didn't allow anyone to leave it.
  • Secret police and military were controlling everything.
  • Still, many people in the city believed that the Communist repression will end. And, it did.
  • In 1989. the Wall fell. Communism fell and Germany was united.
