National History Day on the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall and the decline of the Soviet Union. The Berlin Wall was put up August 13‚ 1961. The reason why it was put up was because Cold War tensions over Berlin were running high again. For East Germans dissatisfied with life under the communist system‚ West Berlin was a gateway to the democratic West. Between 1949 and 1961‚ some 2.5 million East Germans fled from East to West Germany‚ most via West Berlin. By August 1961‚ an average of 2‚000 East

Who was most to blame for the Cold War? The Cold War was the tense relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR) during the 46-year period following the World War II’s end‚ but before the end of the Soviet Union.

"Iron Curtain" was a metaphor that Winston Churchill used to describe the dark times that had fallen on Europe. Much of Eastern Europe had fallen to Soviet Control‚ from East Germany and Poland to Russia.

and Eastern Europe from Western Europe. This iron curtain arose from the Soviet Union blocking its satellite states and itself from the non-communist nations of Western Europe. This resulted in the Soviet-influenced states of central and Eastern Europe being socially‚ economically‚ and politically different from the west. Following the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989‚ the Soviet Union started to lose its communist influence‚ thus diminishing the iron curtain that existed among Eastern European

Hungarian Uprising of 1956 was a greater threat because it took place at the start of the weakening of Communism in Eastern Europe. The Soviet retreat from Cuba‚ the growing atmosphere of detente and the Sino-soviet split all combined to weaken soviet control over Eastern Europe. When Khrushchev came to power in 1953 after Stalin’s death in 1950 he began a policy of Destalinisation in Eastern Europe and even denounced Stalin in a secret speech in 1954. This all made communism seem weaker and people began

Right in the center of the Europe there was a dangerous zone of confrontation where two political and military parties opposed each other. This division of Europe into Eastern and Western was finalized in 1955. However‚ that clear borderline hadn’t fully divided Europe. There was a still one “window”‚ and that was Berlin. Eastern Germany started separating themselves from Western Germany in 1952. Two contracting mentalities were placed within the limits of one city. Meanwhile‚ every Berliner could

Cold War as the product of the aggressive and expansionist foreign policies of USSR. This view has been presented by historians such as W. H .McNeill‚ H. Feis‚ and A. Schlesinger. After WW2 a power vacuum was left in a large part of central and Eastern Europe. Stalin took the advantage of this in order to strengthen the Soviet Union and spread communism.
