The Collapse of Communism

The fall of the Communisn was one of the major turining points in history. Many peole made the wall fall because they wanted to reunify Germany. The wall was built in 1961. The wall was built because they wanted to prevent the Soveits' people in the east from escaping into the West which was better. The people who tried to get over the wall, many of them died. Ronald Reagan US President wanted the wall down since their was tension between the US and USSR with the Space Race and Nuclear Weapons that had happened in the past. He wanted to be on better terms with the Soveits and realized the struggle of the people. He wanted Germany reunified. On Nov. 9. 1989 the Berlin came down. People were glad that the wall came down because now the people could travel between countries and they wouldnt be killed just for going over to another country.
