The Depressing Truth about THE BERLIN WALL- Chrissy Chaos Presents - Christories History Lessons - ep 41

TODAY WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT THE BERLIN WALL, cute Germany!! 🙆🏼‍♂️ We’re tearing down walls, literally! In this episode of Christories, we dive into the Cold War drama that split Berlin in two, turning neighbors into strangers and the city into a tense playground for the U.S., USSR, and their global squad. The Berlin Wall was built overnight in 1961 to keep East Germans in and capitalist vibes out. JFK came through with his "Ich bin ein Berliner" moment, Checkpoint Charlie became the ultimate showdown spot, and spies were basically running the place. We’ll get into wild escape attempts, epic propaganda battles, and a press conference blunder that accidentally kicked off a revolution. By 1989, it all came crashing down thanks to confusion, courage, and a whole lot of people power. Grab your hammer and get ready to smash some history!!!
