DAY IN HISTORY

November 9, 1989
East Germany Opens the Berlin Wall
On this day East German officials opened the Berlin Wall, allowing travel from East to West Berlin. The following day, celebrating Germans began to tear the wall down. One of the ugliest and most infamous symbols of the Cold War was soon reduced to rubble. Mikhail Gorbachev, leader of the Soviet Union, actually encouraged the East German action. The destruction of the Berlin Wall was one of the most significant actions leading to the end of the Cold War.
