Presentation transcript:

State control was enforced in two ways Secret Police The secret police arrested people who spoke out against the government or were otherwise considered a threat. Spies Soviet spies infiltrated western countries to learn their secrets as well as learn if anyone from their communist countries had switched sides.

This was not just in the U.S.S.R While there are some differences between communist countries, for the most part they were and still are very restrictive about Human Rights and stick to the main economic principles of communism.

Cold War Alignments: 1953

Cold War Alignments: 1980

Berlin Wall: 1961 In a masterfully-planned operation, spanning just 24 hours, the streets of Berlin were torn up, barricades of paving stones were erected, tanks were gathered at crucial places and subways and local railway services were interrupted, so that within a day the West of Berlin was completely sealed off from the East. As of that same day inhabitants of East Berlin and East Germany were no longer allowed to enter the West of the city (including the 60,000 who had been commuters).

Berlin Wall built to stop East Germans from fleeing to the west!

The wall was built to split East and West Berlin in 1961 and stood until About people were killed trying to cross over, under, or through this wall to join their families and friends on the other side. It eventually extended for over 100 miles.

Berlin Wall in the 1980’s
