When Regan visited Berlin, he made a speech challenging the Soviets (specifically General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev) to end the separation of Germany into democratic-self ruled West Germany and Comunist East Germany that was propped up by the Soviet Union. The Berlin wall was perhaps to all, the ugliest reminder of that separation. Regan had seen considerable change in the Soviet leader and seemed to think this bold statement would make a difference by focusing public opinion to end divided Germany. This gutsy move paid off, setting Regan above many as a humanitarian and political leader.

Whose idea was it to destroy the Berlin Wall?
The original challenge of actually tearing down the wall, came from US President, Ronald Reagan. In 1987, President Reagan made a speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate, (now referred to as the "Tear Down This Wall Speech".) at the Berlin wall, in which he challenged then Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall". At the time this speech was delivered, few believed that the wall would actually be destroyed. President Reagan's challenge to Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" was in direct response to Gorbachev's policy of perestroika. Reagan felt that Gorbachev needed to follow through with actual changes, and not simply "HEAR" about reform, and openness, and policy change.Two years later, when the wall was finally destroyed in 1989, many in East Germany and West Germany, wanted the wall destroyed.A LOT of people had that idea.
