made up of only Russia’s satellite countries that
were also communist.
The west side of the Iron curtain was made up of
France, Great Britain, West Germany, Italy, Spain,
and the U.S. This side of the iron curtain was
capitalist.

East and West Berlin
Like the Iron curtain, the city of Berlin was divided
into two halves the east communist and the west
capitalist.
To make sure people in east Berlin did not try to go
to west Berlin the communist government made the
Berlin wall to divide the two parts.
At one point during the cold war west Berlin had a
blockade around it to prevent all goods from entering
it. After the capitalist side found out the started the
Berlin airlift and sent in good and supplies by plane.

Russian Communism
Russian communism started when Vladimir Lenin

would have the same pay as everyone.

Communist people
The reason why people in east Berlin wanted to go
to west Berlin was because west Berlin if you had a
good job you would have better pay and a better life.
If you were a slacker then you were in a communist
government then you would be successful.
If you were a slacker in a capitalist government then
you would not make any money.
