nov 9, 1989 - Berlin Wall opened

Description:

Popular demonstrations against the USSR began to develop in East Germany and with the rise of these demonstrations, Gorbachev informed East Germany that they would not be receiving military support. Swiftly, the German government resigned and the new government soon allowed the opening of East Germany's borders. This resulted in free travel between east and west Germany and the eventual destruction of the Berlin Wall.
