Berlin Wall
It wasn't built during a war, it was after World War II.
The Cold War lasted from 1949 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Proxy wars included the Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1955-1975). Also significant was the Berlin Crisis of 1961 and the subsequent building of the Berlin Wall, which was often used as a representation of Capitalist/Comminist division and of the "Iron Curtain." The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 and fell in 1989.
