Collapse Of Communism

The fall of Communism was a major turning point in history. The Cold War ended, Diplomats, finally had an opportunity to enter the Soviet Union without military aid,and the Berlin Wall came crashing down. Communist Governments first lost power in Poland in June 1989. Demands for reform spread across East Germany in the fall of 1989 and led to the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the unification of East and West Germany.
