The Berlin Wall

Germany won the World Cup this year



Germany reminds us of beer, sausage, and soccer, doesn't it? Besides, one more thing that strikes me is the Berlin Wall.


The Berlin Wall was built in 1961, and it separated Germany into East and West. As a result, more than five-thousand Germans tried to escape from 1961 to 1999. Maybe 100-to-200 of these people are estimated to lose their lives. It is so heartbreaking of the tragedy to take place in the same country.  


But Germany was perfectly united in October, 1990, and Nowadays the Berlin Wall has become a big tourist attraction.



 In order to achieve the unification, Germany must have undergone a lot of work, many trials and errors. However, Germany has developed all the better for overcoming agonies of pain. Watching the unification of Germany, so many emotions crossed my mind.
