Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which historical event is associated with the fall of the Berlin Wall? "

...

The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, was one of the most pivotal moments in modern history, symbolizing the end of the Cold War and the division between Eastern and Western Europe. Erected in 1961, the Berlin Wall physically and ideologically separated East Berlin (controlled by the communist government of East Germany) from West Berlin, which was part of the democratic West. For almost three decades, the Wall represented the broader global struggle between the communist Soviet bloc and the capitalist Western powers.

The peaceful revolution in East Germany, fueled by mass protests and a desire for more freedoms, culminated in the Wall’s opening. When the East German government unexpectedly announced that citizens could cross freely into West Berlin, thousands of people surged to the wall, leading to its eventual dismantling. Within a year, on October 3, 1990, Germany officially reunified after more than 40 years of division. This event not only transformed Germany but also marked the collapse of communist regimes across Eastern Europe.
