Description: This animated history video explains for Americans why Germans didn’t just go around the Berlin Wall. It may sound silly, but many Americans don’t know the full history of the Berlin Wall, why it was erected, or why it was important to German History. Support further explorations: patreon.com/theexploration Get the book 'Faust's Metropolis: A History of Berlin' here (affiliate): amzn.to/2fqKgFh Get 'Berlin 1961: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and the Most Dangerous Place on Earth' (aff) amzn.to/2gLwZJd So here is a nice explanation of everything from the wall’s construction, to JFK’s famous, ‘ich bin ein Berliner’ speech. Keep an eye out for future videos which chronicle the rest of the story of Germany’s division.
