Fall of Berlin Wall


Fall of the Berlin Wall

On November 9, 1989 after years of international pressure and a passionate speech by President Ronald Reagan urging Mr. Gorbachev, the secretary general of the Soviet Union, to “tear down this wall” it was finally decided that the Berlin Wall would be dismantled allowing for free travel throughout Germany once more.
