ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Berlin

Berlin is a big city in Germany. A city is like a really big neighborhood with lots of streets, parks, buildings, and people living inside of it. Berlin is special because it used to be two cities, one side was controlled by the United States, France, and Great Britain, while the other side was controlled by the Soviet Union. This happened after a big war called World War II.

But in 1989, the people of Berlin broke down the wall that separated the two sides of the city, and Berlin became one big city again. That was a really important moment in history because it meant that the people on both sides could be together again and live in peace.

Nowadays, Berlin is a really cool city with lots of fun things to do like visiting museums, seeing art, eating yummy food, and even going to big parties. People from all over the world come to visit Berlin and learn more about its history and culture.
