After World War II, Berlin was divided into occupation zones. The Soviets placed a barrier in order to try to force West Germany to give up control of Berlin. With help to West Germany from France and the U.S., the barrier was taken down in 1949. Tensions rose, with East Germans becoming more dissatisfied with the Communist rule and exiting into West Germany. The Russian Leader Nikita Khruschev recommended that the border be sealed, and construction of the wall began in 1961.
The main reason for building the Berlin Wall was to prevent a "brain drain" from East Germany to West Germany. From 1945 until the building of the wall, approximately 3.5 million people escaped into West Germany (including many Poles and Czechs. As these were mainly young people, this placed extreme pressure on the economic systems of Eastern bloc countries.
Another factor was that many West Germans were buying East German currency on the black market and then buying basic foodstuffs and the few luxury goods that were available (because they were state-subsidised and generally much cheaper). This too had an adverse effect on the East German economy
The official reason given by the ruling SED party in East Germany for the building of the wall was to prevent revanchists and agitators entering East Berlin and East Germany and referred to the wall officially as "antifaschistischer Schutzwall"(anti-fascist barricade)
The Berlin Wall was constructed by The German Democratic Republic (GDR) or East Germany starting on 13 August 1961. It surrounded all of West Berlin. The Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc Officially claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements that were conspiring to defy "the will of the people" in creating a socialist state in East Germany. In reality it was a desperate attempt to stop the mass exodus of defectors and emigration from the East that marked East Germany and The Eastern Bloc during the post WWII period.
