Cold War Free Tour: A City Divided by a Wall
♡ Save
Delve into the history of a conflict that divided Europe for almost half a century and that in Berlin will eventually materialize with a wall, a division that will stand up "overnight" dividing thousands of families and loved ones.
The Cold War, an ideological confrontation that divided the world into two blocks, was the greatest conflict modern Europe has known.
Berlin became the place where the tension between communism and capitalism materialized.
The Berlin Wall, which was erected "overnight," was a physical division between these blocks, but also an emotional wound that separated thousands of families and loved ones for almost three decades.
Discover how this city has managed to overcome division and unite after decades of tension and separation following the fall of the wall.
