What is Fall of the Berlin Wall?

On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall — the symbol of Cold War division — fell after the East German government announced that citizens could cross freely. Crowds flooded the checkpoints and began tearing down the wall. The event triggered the reunification of Germany and marked the symbolic end of the Cold War, becoming one of the most defining moments of the 20th century.
