Ronald Reagan gave a speech to West Germany on Berlin's 750th anniversary. In his speech, he challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the wall. So it was really because of Ronald Reagan's speech that the wall came down.
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.
