The Berlin Wall was dismantled in 1989 as a result of growing public pressure for freedom and reform in East Germany, coupled with changes in political dynamics across Eastern Europe. Mass protests and a desire for reunification played critical roles, alongside the weakening influence of the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev. Key figures involved included East German citizens, protest leaders, and government officials who ultimately decided to allow free passage at the wall, leading to its fall. The event symbolized the end of the Cold War and the beginning of German reunification.
