On November 10, 1958, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev delivered a speech in which he demanded that the Western powers of the United States, Great Britain, and France pull their forces out of West Berlin within six months. This ultimatum sparked a three-year crisis over the future of the city of Berlin that culminated in 1961 with the Berlin Wall building.

The Berlin Wall remained in place until November 9, 1989, when the border between East and West Berlin was reopened, and the wall itself was finally dismantled.
