The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin and was stretched over 100 miles. It separated West Berlin which was democratic from East Berlin which was communist, with the west side covered in graffiti while the east side remained plain. Over the years, many Germans risked escaping over or under the wall, with most being young people stored in warehouses and flown to West Germany. The wall finally began falling in 1989 as border restrictions between East and West Germany were lifted, allowing Germans on both sides to reunite and celebrate while chipping away pieces of the wall as souvenirs.

3) In 1961, the East German government built the Berlin Wall to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the western sectors and West Germany. It remained until 1989 when rising dissent led East Germany to open border crossings and allow East Berliners to travel freely.
The Berlin Wall
After World War 2, Germany was divided between the Western Allies and Soviet Union. Berlin was also divided, and from 1949 to 1961 over 2.7 million East Germans fled to the West via Berlin. In 1961, East Germany erected the Berlin Wall to stop the flow of emigrants. The wall cut through neighborhoods and became a symbol of the Cold War. It stood for 28 years until 1989, when political reforms in the Eastern Bloc led East Germany to open border crossings and allow East Berliners to freely enter West Berlin, leading to the fall of the wall.

It divided Berlin for 28 years until its destruction in 1989, and served as a symbol of the ideological divide between democratic West Germany and communist East Germany during the Cold War. The wall, which was replaced and reinforced over time, eventually grew to be nearly 12 feet high and surrounded West Berlin. Its sudden destruction in 1989 after new policies opened the border was celebrated around the world and led to German reunification in 1990.
Fall of the Berlin Wall Period 6, Guyer
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by the Soviet Union to separate East and West Berlin during the Cold War. It restricted movement between the two halves of Germany until 1989 when it was torn down. The wall negatively impacted those living in East Germany by separating families, restricting freedom of movement, and causing deaths of those who attempted to cross illegally. Its removal helped reunify Germany and end the Soviet control over Eastern Europe.
1. 3 The Berlin Wall.pdf
The Berlin Wall was erected overnight on August 13, 1961 by the East German government to prevent its citizens from fleeing to West Berlin. It divided the city into east and west and served as a symbol of the Cold War for 28 years. Thousands risked their lives trying to escape over, under, or through the increasingly fortified wall. In 1989, amid reforms in the Soviet Union, mass protests in East Germany grew and the wall fell, reunifying Germany.
The berlin wall
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent mass emigration from East Berlin and East Germany to the western sectors. It split families and symbolized the division of Germany and Europe during the Cold War. In 1989, a new government in East Germany announced citizens could freely cross into West Berlin, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall that November as people celebrated the end of the division. German reunification was formally achieved in 1990.
The berlin wall
The document discusses the Berlin Wall, which divided Berlin and Germany after World War 2 and the Cold War. It summarizes that:
1) After World War 2 and the start of the Cold War in 1952, East and West Germany were divided and Berlin was split between the Soviet occupied East and Western allied occupied West.
2) In 1961, the East German government built the Berlin Wall to prevent East Germans from escaping to the West due to dissatisfaction with economic and political conditions in East Germany.
3) The Berlin Wall divided families and caused human suffering, with many killed trying to cross over the years before it fell in 1989.
Berlin post
The document summarizes the construction of the Berlin Wall in August 1961. It provides background on how East Germany surrounded West Berlin with a concrete wall, separating the two sides. The editorial criticizes the wall as unjustified and unreasonable, saying it was built without notice and will not solve East Germany's economic and political problems. It argues that a wall stops dialogue and will not unite the German people like it aims to do.
Berlin wall
The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 to prevent mass emigration from East Germany to West Germany. It ran for about 90 miles around West Berlin and was initially a barbed wire fence before becoming a concrete wall. Over its existence from 1961 to 1989 when it was torn down, around 100-150 people died trying to cross the Berlin Wall.

The number of AIDS cases rose steadily throughout 1982, mostly affecting the gay community. Reports from the CDC in December 1982 announced the first case of AIDS in a child who received a blood transfusion, and cases in infants born to IV drug users. In May 1983, the Department of Health and Human Services declared AIDS the top medical priority but finding effective treatments was expected to take years. By June 1989, over 106,000 AIDS cases had been reported in the US with 61,000 deaths, though treatments were improving and public acceptance of both the disease and homosexuality was increasing.
Science
The document discusses the history and development of artificial hearts. It notes that artificial hearts were developed as a solution for patients waiting for donor hearts, with the first implant in a human being in 1982. The first recipient, Dr. Barney Clark, survived 112 days with the Jarvik-7 artificial heart but suffered complications and infections before ultimately passing away. The FDA later approved a few more implants of the Jarvik-7 which provided longer term support as a temporary solution until a donor heart could be transplanted.

CD-ROMs were created in 1985 by Sony and Philips. They store large amounts of digital data, including software programs, video games, and multimedia applications. CD-ROM discs have the same physical structure as audio CDs, using a thin aluminum layer and polycarbonate plastic. Disposable cameras were meant for single-use and included installed film, making them convenient to carry for photography. Roller racers were scooter-like toys ridden by moving back and forth while holding handlebars. Pogo balls allowed jumping up and down on a platform attached to a ball in the middle.

CD-ROMs were created in 1985 by Sony and Philips as a format for storing large amounts of digital data using the same basic design as an audio CD but allowing data to be read from the disc rather than just music. Discs are made of polycarbonate plastic with an aluminum reflective layer and can hold large software programs, videos, and multimedia files. Other popular 1980s inventions mentioned include disposable cameras meant for single-use photography, roller racers which were scooter-like toys ridden by shifting one's weight, and pogo balls which combined a pogo stick with a bouncing ball platform.

Chernobyl
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was caused by a flawed reactor design operated by under-trained personnel, resulting in a steam explosion and fire that released 5% of the radioactive core. Two workers died that night and 28 more from acute radiation poisoning in the following weeks. While increased thyroid cancers occurred, a UN report found no evidence of major public health impacts from radiation exposure 20 years later, and resettlement of evacuated areas is ongoing.
The end of_the_cold_war
The Cold War between the US and USSR lasted from 1946 to 1991 and was characterized by political and economic competition between the communist and capitalist worlds. During the 1980s, the Soviet Union fought a war in Afghanistan and the US spent $2 trillion on nuclear forces to counter the Soviet submarine force. Submarines were not developed for strategic purposes until the work of John Holland and Simon Lake in the 1880s.
Beirut barracks bombing
The Beirut Barracks Bombing in 1983 saw two truck bombs crash into buildings housing American and French military soldiers in Beirut during the Lebanese Civil War, killing a total of 299 American and French servicemen. The bombings, using what was then the largest non-nuclear bomb in history at six tons of TNT, were claimed by Islamic Jihad and resulted in the deaths of 241 American soldiers and 58 French peacekeepers.

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin and was stretched over 100 miles. It separated West Berlin which was democratic from East Berlin which was communist, with the west side covered in graffiti while the east side remained plain. Over the years, many Germans risked escaping over or under the wall, with most being young people, until it was opened in 1989 when the border between west and east Germany was officially opened, allowing reunification.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
