nov 9, 1989 - Fall of the Berlin Wall
Description:
On the night of November 9, 1989, waves of East Germans began to tear down the wall, ultimately causing the Berlin Wall to fall, destroying the barrier between the East and West after a mere 30 years of the Wall being up.This sparked the reunification of Germany after being divided for almost 3 decades
The fall of the Wall supported the diminishing Soviet Union, as their could not keep up with their rule (as well as their loss in their communist influence)
