The formed USSR had controlled Eastern Germany and many other countries in what Ronald Reagan called "an evil empire". Reagan saw the change that people of those countries wanted and asked the Russian president to tear down the wall in Berlin. Realizing he could not longer stop it , he allowed the wall to come down and ended the forced USSR control.
This is an awful answer which is heavily biased towards the American government which in fact had no input on this. The wall came down for a variety of reasons including Gorbachev's relaxing of Russian foreign policy dcotrines which basically allowed Communist countries to make their own minds up, without Soviet intervention. Also heavily involved was the opening of the Hungarian - Austrian border in 1989 which allowed GDR citizens to move west. Peaceful protests began across the GDR and the wall fell.
