The Fall of the Iron Curtain and the beginning of a new chapter in our history

The Fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 paved the way for the reunification of Germany and reunification of Europe after more than 40 years of political and economic division between the West and the East. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Iron Curtain hold an important place in the collective memory of the people of Europe. Political demonstrations and independence movements in some Central and Eastern European countries, like Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Poland, had already started before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Communist regime in Poland was abolished in June 1989, in Hungary in October 1989 and in Czechoslovakia and Romania in December 1989. The Baltic countries would gain their independence two years later. <a href="https://europeancommission.medium.com/the-fall-of-the-iron-curtain-and-the-beginning-of-a-new-chapter-in-our-history-b69105d9a053">Read More</a>
