Why this is the correct answer
East Germany began constructing the Berlin Wall on the night of August 12–13, 1961, sealing off West Berlin from East Berlin and the surrounding GDR. For 28 years, the Wall physically separated families, friends, and a city. It fell on November 9, 1989, when the GDR government unexpectedly announced that citizens could cross freely, triggering jubilant crowds that dismantled it in the days that followed.
