On the night of November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, and the political situation in East and West Germany changed dramatically.
The origin of the Berlin Wall: After the end of World War II in 1949, the liquidation of Germany began after the victory of the anti-fascist coalition, and the Soviet Union and the United States, Britain, and France divided Germany into two regions, one is East Berlin and West Berlin, referred to as East Germany and West Germany. East Germany was ruled by the Soviet Union as a communist country, while West Germany was a capitalist country. In 1961, due to the changing international situation, the contradictions between East Germany and West Germany continued to expand, and in 1961, the Soviet Union demanded the withdrawal of troops from West Berlin, which finally ended with the construction of the Berlin Wall, and then the contradictions and conflicts between East Germany and West Germany were eased.
The fall of the Berlin Wall: the seventies and eighties of the last century. Due to the great disparity in strength between East Germany and West Germany, the Soviet Union Gorbachev** was deeply mired in political and economic difficulties at this time. East Germany can only be tired of coping, and it is difficult to parry. Chancellor Kohl of West Germany proposed a ten-point programme of action for the reunification of Germany. In order to expand his sphere of influence in Europe and compete with the Soviet Union for hegemony, Bush decided to support the policy of early reunification of West Germany. The people of the two Germans are looking forward with excitement to the early arrival of German reunification. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990, it took only 316 days, becoming the first country to move towards reunification in a "peaceful way" after the Second World War.
