Berlin
(one of Germany's three city states) was founded around 1230 and became the
capital of Germany in 1871. Much of Germanys history in the last hundred years
can be linked with Berlin. After the end of WWII it was seperated into four
sections. (the USA, Great Britain and the Solviet Union eache claimed a section)
In 1961 East Germany built a wall to divide east and west Berlin. Many years
later, October 3rd 1990, the wall was finally taken down and Germany reunited.
