• The Wall

  
  Great Power Politics — Authority: 110
  When the Berlin Wall came down and ignited the opening of Eastern Europe to democracy and capitalism, I was just 9 years old. I remember thinking the ‘Cold War’ was an actual war that we seemed to be fighting permanently. Only while earning my Bachelors in history did I start to truly understand the event’s ...

• Cold War's End — The Wall Comes Down

  
  ChrisWeigant.com — Authority: 466
  It must be a little hard to understand, for anyone reading this under the age of about 30 or so, the significance of the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago. Because one event has become historical shorthand for an immense change in the dynamics of not just our country, but the entire world. Weve all seen the ...

  20 years ago, it all fell apart for the Soviet Union. Its almost unfathomable to think our current "leader" should turn his back on those countries who yearned for our lifestyle for generations:

  As the world celebrates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Lech Walesa, the co-founder of Solidarnosc , Nobel Peace Prize winner and former President of Poland, wants to share in the celebration, the honor and the credit—and perhaps rightly so. Walesa was recently interviewed by Spiegel Online ...

• The Fall of One Wall

  
  Little Green Footballs — Authority: 612
  On the anniversary of the collapse of the East German police state, Commentary has a great piece by Peter Wehner on the meaning of The Fall of One Wall . It turns out that in the contest between freedom and totalitarianism, freedom does pretty well.

• Remember When We Had A REAL President?

  
  MoltenThought II — Authority: 619
  This is what it was like . There is much speculation as to why the current occupant of the Oval Office didnt go to Berlin for the 20th Anniversary. I suspect the real reason is indicated by this video: he simply cannot hope to compete with the greatness, moral clarity, and leadership of The Great Communicator.

  Bundesliga — Authority: 124
  20 years ago the Berlin Wall fell . Depending on who you ask it was either because of David Hasselhof , an accident or a peaceful revolution of the East German people. One football fan was particularly looking forward to this event, after cheering on the “wrong” football teams for over two decades. Helmut ...

  Disinformation — Authority: 574
  With the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall today, I found this story from the BBC in 2004 kinda funny. This headline also seemed to inspire the title of a book from a great publisher in the UK, Icon Books . If you don’t take Icon’s or the BBC’s word for it, watch the Hoff in action at the wall ...

• The Fall of the Wall

  
  Total Survivalist Libertarian Rantfest — Authority: 140
  Today is the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wal l. I remember it on the nightly news when I was a kid. Not well but guys standing on a big concrete wall with sledge hammers and a lot of people who were all happy and stuff. I think the impact of the Cold War (certainly best symbolized by the Wall itself) ...

• The Fall Of The Berlin Wall: The Wider Historical Context

  
  Risk Watchdog — Authority: 123
  The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of Communism in Europe was probably inevitable, given the inability of the Communist system to compete economically with the West. We now hear that communism was ‘unsustainable’ and I largely agree, but at the same time I don’t think it was inevitable that the Berlin Wall ...

  “Mr Gorbachev, Tear down this wall. “ I was 21. When Ronald Reagan made that demand. It resonated through my being. I was really not much more than a kid, without political understanding, but even I could see how wrong that wall was.  I saw that wall as an ugly reminder of how differences of perspective (a ...

• My suitcase in Berlin

  
  Hawksbill Cabin — Authority: 125
  In trying to find some appropriate words today about the Fall of the Berlin Wall, I came across this Marlene Dietrich quotation, "Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin." It means I have a suitcase in Berlin. I do love that city, and I know that most of my friends who shared the experience of being there do too - so ...

  Kreuzer's Korner — Authority: 514
  I can’t believe it’s actually been 20 years since the Berlin Wall came crumbling down on November 9, 1989. I’m starting to accept the fact that I’m actually getting older. Hell…I’ve reached 31! At the time this historical event took place, I understood what it meant. But, looking back, I think that I ...

• November 9, 1989: The Fall of the Wall

  
  World in Motion — Authority: 118
  In a panel discussion last week I said that November 9, 1989 may be the second most important day of the 20th century.   (I put June 22, 1941 as the most important, since that’s the day I think Germany’s defeat in WWII became inevitable).   It is the day that the Berlin Wall became irrelevant, as citizens of ...

  Dean's World — Authority: 570
  The legacy of 1989 is a blank slate of sorts, but rather than engage in hagiography of the past I am more interested in applying the lessons of 1989 to the future – specifically, the Israel-Palestine conflict.
