The Day the Future Shifted: November 9, 1989

For nearly 30 years the Berlin Wall cut through streets, neighborhoods, and families guarded by concrete, steel, and orders to stop escape at all costs. By the late 1980s the Soviet grip was weakening and protests across Eastern Europe inspired East Germans to push for change. On November 9, 1989, a confused government announcement and thousands of determined citizens met at the checkpoints. Guards hesitated, gates were lifted, and people poured across, chipping away at the barrier until it fell. The night marked the beginning of German reunification and a turning point in the Cold War.
