Detailed explanation-1: -Five days earlier more than half a million people had gathered in East Berlin to protest en-masse. The demonstrations resulted in the East German government announcing that it would open all of its borders and checkpoints.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Berlin Wall stood until November 9, 1989, when the head of the East German Communist Party announced that citizens of the GDR could cross the border whenever they pleased.
Detailed explanation-3: -The border between East and West Germany was opened on November 9, 1989, following anti-government protests in East Germany and the democratization of other eastern and central European states. Sections of the Berlin Wall were subsequently torn down by East German border guard crews and residents of a reunified Berlin.
Detailed explanation-4: -On the night of August 12-13, 1961, East German soldiers laid down more than 30 miles of barbed wire barrier through the heart of Berlin. East Berlin citizens were forbidden to pass into West Berlin, and the number of checkpoints in which Westerners could cross the border was drastically reduced.
