- The Soviet Union used so much of their economy on military, to stand a chance against the US, that they couldn't compete with ordinary economy. 

- The Soviet Union couldn't endure the social and economic pressure within, and therefore the Union got divided into numerous different states. The Soviet Union then lost its grip over Eastern Europe.

Life in East Berlin and in the DDR
Eastern Berlin and the DDR were tormented by dictators, mainly ruled by the SED. In comparison to western Berlin, who had a so called “Marshall-plan”, that were supposed to secure the rebuild of western Berlin.  Eastern Berlin did not prepare such plans of action.

In western Germany they had a lot of natural richness, for example mines. Their currency “vestmark” were the most valuable in all of Germany. 
In direct contrast, eastern Germany did not have mines enough to support the economy, nor did they have quite as big of an industrial production. Furthermore Eastern Germany were also forced to pay the Sovijetunion for repairs, whilst western Germany were not.

The DDR(Deutsche Demokratische Republik) roughly translated to The German Democracy Republic.

If you were to live in Eastern Germany, every property, corporations ect. were all owned by the state. (DDR)

Imported goods such as coffee, bananas and cocoa were more expensive than basics goods.

SED (the partie who ruled eastern Germany) introduced confirmation in their reign.

The man also wanted to meet the abominable snowman and a wild panda, lucky for Hiroo he was first on the list.after befriending Hiroo (who would still not surrender, given his orders, not to die and not to surrender without orders)Hiroo was not alone during his time in the jungle, but over the years the group of 4, shrank to only Hiroo.after the Japanese student had taken pictures of himself and Hiroo, he could prove to the Japanese army that Hiroo was in fact alive and still carrying out his orders.A retired but superior officer was flown in, with signed orders for Hiroo to cease military activities.Hiroo was pardoned for the killings of upwards of 30 people. https://padlet.com/paul_karin/ColdWar/wish/279778829 2018-09-11 10:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_karin/ColdWar/wish/279778829
