15. Why was the Berlin Wall created? To separate Jews and Catholics To separate Democratics and Communits To keep people from entering East Germany To prevent people from leaving East Germany

The correct answer is: To prevent people from leaving East Germany.<br /><br />The Berlin Wall was created in 1961 by the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) to prevent people from leaving the communist-controlled East Germany and escaping to the capitalist West Germany. The wall served as a physical barrier that divided the city of Berlin and symbolized the division between the Eastern and Western blocs during the Cold War.
