Detailed explanation-1: -Because of its psychological as well as its physical significance, the fall of the Berlin Wall quickly became the symbol of the collapse of the communist ideology it had shielded.
Detailed explanation-2: -For Western Europeans, the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolises a reunification of Germany and an end to communist regimes in the region. In the minds of Central and Eastern Europeans, the year 1989 is more associated with domestic events in individual countries.
Detailed explanation-3: -During 1989 and 1990, the Berlin Wall came down, borders opened, and free elections ousted Communist regimes everywhere in eastern Europe. In late 1991 the Soviet Union itself dissolved into its component republics. With stunning speed, the Iron Curtain was lifted and the Cold War came to an end.
Detailed explanation-4: -On a global level, the fall of the Berlin Wall marked the symbolic end of the Cold War, famously prompting the political scientist Francis Fukuyama to declare it the “end of history.” On Oct. 3, 1990, 11 months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, East and West Germany became one state again.
