Berlin
Spree River metropolis
Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany, located in northeastern Germany.
The city was divided into East and West Berlin during the Cold War, separated by the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989.
The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolizes the end of Cold War divisions.
Berlin appears in compounds like Berlin airlift and serves as shorthand for German government policy, much as Washington stands for American policy.
