The article focuses on the political attitudes of the French, British, and American allies towards the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 by the Soviet sector. Through an analysis of Cold War documents and political statements, the author concludes that the construction of the Wall was not considered a major point of contention for the allies. The author suggests that none of the allies took action against the construction of the Wall because it helped to divide the threat of post-war Germany.
