Origin of the Berlin Wall:
At 5 o'clock in the morning on April 16, 1945, Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union gave the order to attack Germany, and on the 30th, Berlin was captured. On 8 May Germany surrendered unconditionally.
In August of the same year, Germany was administered by the four victorious powers: Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union. The city of Berlin is also planned to be divided into four administrative districts.
In June 1948, Britain, France, and the United States simultaneously announced the formal merger of their administrative regions.
On 23 May of the following year, the merged administrative region was officially proclaimed: the Federal Republic of Germany, abbreviated (Federal Republic of Germany), also known as (West Germany).
On October 7 of the following year, the area administered by the Soviet Union was officially declared the German Democratic Republic, also known as the GDR.
In 1961, the Soviet Union (East Germany) built the Berlin Wall to prevent the loss of people.
This is where the world-famous (Berlin Wall) comes from.
