1989 – Cold War: Fall of the Berlin Wall: East Germany opens checkpoints in the Berlin Wall, allowing its citizens to travel to West Berlin. The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the fortified inner German border occurred immediately... without delay after a Politburo press conference on 9 November 1989 prematurely announced that East Germans could travel without restrictions after, in the decades before, hundreds had been killed by Border Troops of the German Democratic Republic when trying to sneak through the Iron Curtain. Soon, people gathered at Berlin border crossings, citing the news that were broadcast in East and West, and puzzled border guards eventually let them pass in the late evening hours, with live television broadcasting worldwide. The next days, thousands traveled across the border, also in other places less covered by press. After this symbolic fall, obstacles were removed, former crossings were opened again, and following demolition, L-shaped concrete segments of the Berlin wall were actually falling and spread around the world.
