Document Summary

Lecture 07: the german question and the berlin wall, 1954-1963. Purpose: to show how the problem of a divided germany and the occupation zones of berlin led to a divided country (east and west) Goal: show how germany remained true to the cold war up. For a time during the 1950s, the world was absorbed with events like the. Korean war, the rise of china, advances of nuclear weapons, uprisings in. German question: what do we do with a divided germany, particularly a divided berlin. This had faded into the background by the 1950s but did not go away. This would emerge as the central problem of the cold war up until the 1970s. Troops from wwii had not left germany afterward to solve the german. Question, but it was not solved and they remained there. Despite the mutual occupation of berlin, both the us and ussr wanted to withdraw their troops from berlin and west germany.
