Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Berlin Wall was erected to both stem the flow of professional, intellectual, and skilled workers fleeing to the West (a) and stop the "brain drain" in East Germany (c). The East German government feared that the mass emigration of its skilled workers would cripple the economy and damage the country's communist regime. The Berlin Wall was constructed to prevent East Germans from defecting to the West, and it became a symbol of the Cold War and the divide between East and West.
