East german government built the berlin wall because too many east germans were immigrating over to west germany
It was a desperate – and effective - move by the GDR (German Democratic Republic) to stop East Berliners escaping from the Soviet-controlled East German state into the West of the city, which was then occupied by the Americans, British and French.
And for the record, China and Israel are not in Germany, where Berlin is located. AND you spelled "ISREAL" wrong!!! It is ACTUALLY spelled I-S-R-A-E-L!!! Gosh :P
East Germany was under Soviet control therefore, a communistic dictatorship after WWII and West Germany had been set up as a democracy, similar to our own. The skilled professionals wanted to work in a democracy and East Germany was losing too many skilled manpower through the border. So they built the wall to stop people from crossing over to opportunity. I just returned from Berlin 2 days ago.
