East Germany went to great lengths to build the Berlin Wall. Why do you think it contained so many layers? Why do you think it was so important to separate the two groups of people?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It is true that East Germany went to great lengths to build the Berlin Wall. I think it contained so many layers because the wall was built to avoid any kind of trespassing from one side to the other. Furthermore, it was a symbol of power, control, and dominion established by General Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union during the so-called Cold War years.  

I think that for the Soviets it was so important to separate the two groups of people to clearly show the world that the Soviet Union had its own controlled territories in Eastern Europe and no western European country, neither the United States, could mess with the USSR.

The Cold War years was a time in which the United States and teh Soviet Union competed in the arms race, the space race, and in spreading/contain COmmunism in the world.

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
