The Berlin Wall was a symbol of which period of tension?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cold War
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to stop large numbers of people from leaving East Berlin for the capitalist West. It physically represented the political, ideological and military division between the Soviet-led Eastern bloc and the Western bloc. The wall fell in 1989, becoming a symbol of the weakening of Cold War divisions. Thus it is associated with the Cold War, not the earlier revolutions or Crusades.
