The article presents a discussion of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the Cold War and a 96-mile barrier that divided the post-World War II Europe, on November 9, 1989. The Cold War, the struggle between democracy and Communism, mainly defined the world in the period between 1945 and 1991. The fall of the Berlin Wall led the reunification of East and West Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, making the U.S. the sole global superpower.
