It also became the symbol of a conflict that had initiated in the Second World War and that was fast escalating between the two super power of the time, the United States and the USSR. It also became the symbol of the struggle between two ideologies, democracy and communism. While the Wall was up, the difference between the development of the Eastern and Western sides of Berlin was enourmous.
