The Cold War

After Germany's defeat in the Second World War, Berlin was divided at the historic Potsdam conference in 1945 and its division would become a symbol for the Cold War. The city endured an historic airlift as an island city behind the Iron Curtain. The division would last almost half a century, symbolised by the erecting of the Berlin Wall.
