Answers
Answer:
The Brandenburg Gate, a few meters from the Berlin Wall, was opened on 22 December 1989. The demolition of the Wall officially began on 13 June 1990 and was completed in November 1991. The "fall of the Berlin Wall" paved the way for German reunification, which formally took place on 3 October 1990.
Answer:
The collapse of the Berlin Wall 30 years ago offers two important lessons.
The first is that freedom and its many, varied benefits should never be taken for granted.
The second is that a free people have no moral right to treat one another with hatred or contempt in the political arena. Theirs is an obligation to solve differences democratically and to do all in their power to preserve the gift of liberty.
Those lessons may seem quaint or naively idealistic to generations that have known little other than freedom and, generally speaking, the lack of want. But 30 years ago in Berlin, little else seemed real.
Why was the Berlin Wall built?
After Germany’s defeat in the war, the Allied powers — the US, the UK, France and the Soviet Union — took control of Germany’s territorial borders and divided it into four zones managed by each Allied power. The capital Berlin was also subjected to this division, despite the city falling mostly inside the zone controlled by the Soviet Union.
Two year after the Allied powers had gained control of Germany, political divisions arose between the Allied powers and the Soviet Union over several socio-political aspects that were meant to determine Germany’s future. The most contentious of all however, was the proposal for the extension of the Marshall Plan, a reconstruction plan signed by then US President Harry Truman in 1948, to provide economic assistance to Western Europe for reconstruction efforts after the Second World War.
