Who built the Berlin Wall : the German Democratic Republic
The Berlin Wall was built by the German Democratic Republic during the Cold War to prevent its population from escaping Soviet-controlled East Berlin to West Berlin, which was controlled by the major Western Allies. It divided the city of Berlin into two physically and ideologically contrasting zones.

Could you legally cross the Berlin Wall : The official and legal way to cross between West and East Berlin was through the eight checkpoints installed by East Germany.

Why did the West want Berlin : The United States heralded the economic success and political freedom of West Berlin as a symbol of the success of the capitalist system, and it was deeply committed to its security, so a Soviet decision to cut off land access again had the potential to lead to a more serious conflict between the two powers.

What was called the New West End, developed after old Berlin had outgrown its space, became West Berlin.
