Answer:On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete “Antifascistischer Schutzwall,” or “antifascist bulwark,” between East and West Berlin. The official purpose of this Berlin Wall was to keep Western “fascists” from entering East Germany and undermining the socialist state, but it primarily served the objective of stemming mass defections from East to West. The Berlin Wall stood until November 9, 1989, when the head of the East German Communist Party announced that citizens of the GDR could cross the border whenever they pleased. That night, ecstatic crowds swarmed the wall. Some crossed freely into West Berlin, while others brought hammers and picks and began to chip away at the wall itself. To this day, the Berlin Wall remains one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the Cold War.

How did the han chinese attempt to assimilate conquered peoples?
N76 [4]
I don't know which specific context you refer to - the Han Chinese have conquered many people. 

So I will provide one example - in Taiwan, the aboriginal people were required to have Chinese names in their passports until recently, which means that every person was forced to adopt a Chinese name, and often their original name was dropped, and (over generation) forgotten. This has changed how people self-identify: weakening their indigenous sense of identity.
