Canadish-Jonathian border wall

The Canadish-Jonathian border wall was a large concrete wall constructed by Canadia in 1945 as a result of their retreat from the advancing Jonathian forces during the Great War. The wall was the second and longest-lasting of the Canadish-Jonathian border walls; on May 21st, 1945, a wooden wall was hastily constructed by Canadish forces at the border of the area Canadia later annexed a day later. Jonathian forces later arrived on July 1st the same year, in an attempt to allow a window for trapped Jonathians to escape South Canadia. After the Jonathians were drawn back and a stalemate began, a concrete wall began construction, and was finished on September 6th, 1945.
The wall soon became a symbol of tensions after the Treaty of Wollings and during the Cold War, in which Jonathia began to demand their former territory back. Political tensions ensued as a result. Despite calls on both sides to remove the wall, it remained, standing as a reminder of the Great War and the consequences it called. Many on both sides, particularly the Canadish side, did attempt to scale or avert the wall, with many dying attempting to do so, though the wall's poor guarding in non-populated areas made this task quite easy.
The wall's removal began to look like a prospect with the Salisbury Agreement in 1991 and the subsequent calming of tensions between Jonathia and Canadia. Prime minister of Jonathia Joshua Burton delivered his famous 'Tear Down This Wall' speech at the wall in June of 1992, while his Canadish equivalent, Harold Kronbach, visited the wall in 1994 to deliver his own speech over the wall to a jubilant crowd in the outskirts of Hyfall, Lolland.
While sections of the wall were removed across the 1990s and 2000s to allow the construction of both border crossings and the G2 highway, the wall stubbornly remained, despite multiple plans to remove it. Finally, on November 30th, 2020, the prime ministers of both countries, Jonas Albert and Mark Gänston, agreed to finally demolish the wall. The wall was officially demolished in January of 2021, with the border checkpoints being demolished later on in April the same year with Canadia's admission into the Commonwealth of Nations and their agreement to the Tapanthian Republic's Shangone Area policy. Sections and pieces of the wall have since been moved to museums across Jonathia and Canadia; for example, an entire section of the wall was moved to Bellfort, where it remains on display outside the Museum of Bellfort.
