What happened at the Fall of the Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall had divided East and West Berlin since 1961, symbolizing the Cold War split between communist Eastern Europe and the democratic West. By late 1989, mass protests and political upheaval across East Germany, part of a wider wave of change in Eastern Europe, pressured the government to ease travel restrictions. On November 9, an announcement led crowds to gather at checkpoints, and border guards, overwhelmed and lacking clear orders, allowed people through. Berliners on both sides celebrated atop and around the wall, and it was soon dismantled. The event became a defining symbol of the end of the Cold War and preceded German reunification in 1990.
