The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, specifically on November 9th. This significant event marked the symbolic end of the Cold War and the division between East and West Berlin, which had lasted for nearly three decades. The fall was preceded by a series of peaceful protests and growing calls for reform in East Germany. The event led to the reunification of Germany, which was officially completed on October 3, 1990. The Berlin Wall's collapse serves as a powerful symbol of the struggle for freedom and the triumph of democratic movements over authoritarian regimes.
