Question

hey you guys i need help. I'm writing a research paper on the berlin wall. I don't know what to write about.

Answer 1

The Berlin Wall was the symbol of the Cold War in Europe. East vs West. Communism vs Capitalism. It marked the beginning of the Nuclear Age. Research on the Post-WWII era and the Berlin Airlift and all that good stuff.

Answer 2

Just adding onto Hermeezey's advice, you could also write about the escape attempts such as the reasons why many wanted to risk coming over the wall and how the wall changed to try and stop them. There are a lot of good stories on how creative many people were in trying to escape East Berlin. One of the more dramatic attempts involved secretly making a hot air balloon to float over to safety in the West.
