Why did teh fall of Berlin Wall lead to Germany's reunificaton? Is there some special reason why? Help, please

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, after world war II Germany was not doing very well. The USA split Germany and its capital city of Berlin into thirds and gave them to the French and Russians(who were our allies at the time). The USA and French thirds were thriving, but the Russian third wasn't doing well at all, so people were moving to the French and US thirds for a better life. There were so many people moving the Russians built a wall around the Russian third of Berlin and its third of Germany. Thus divided the country until the walls were demolished.

Answer 2

Unfortunately you were not around when the wall came down. It was the obvious symbol of the division of East and West Germany. Basically, East Germany just closed up shop, allowed anyone who wanted to pass from East Berlin to West Berlin to do so. The people then took whatever tools they could find and spontaneously tore the wall down. When JFK gave his "ich bin ein Berliner" speech in 1961, noone could have imagined that that was the way the wall would come down.

Symbolism is important in history. When the Paris populace tore down the Basteille on July 14, 1789, they accomplished relatively little. They obtained gunpowder, killed some guards, and liberated seven prisoners who were still in the jail. Yet it is that date which is celebrated by France as the start of the revolution.

Answer 3

Because when the Berlin Wall was in place Germany was a divided nation with almost half of it being controlled by the former Soviet Union.

Answer 4

i believe mikhail gorbachev was thrust into the position as leader of the soviet union.

he apparently was unqualified to handle the position and proceeded to break up, or cause the break up of the soviet union.

without the support of the soviet union, the empire collapsed.

i think that's what happened.

east germany came under severe financial pressure, could not survive on its own and agreed to merge with west germany.

it may turn out the the reunification of germany will change the course of history as germany has become the most powerful industrial, economic and financial in the european neighborhood.

all europeans are secretly deathly afraid and terrified of germany.

why is this so?

sooner or later, germany will get revenge on all who hurt them in wwll.

it happened before, right after wwl.

the germans were forced to sign the treaty of versailles. this treaty said germany could not do this that and the other. this treaty specifically said germany could not build ships over 17,000 tons and only a few warships. as a nation and people,they were totally humilated in front of the world.

well germany being a great industrial power immediately began to build giant super first class navy and war ships. they built a first class air force. they meted out severe punishment on britain.

wow did they ever suffer in britain!

the british suffered a serious a*ss whipping once the germans started to bomb them.

well after wwll, the same thing that was done after wwl was done to germany again.

i suspect at some point in the future the germans will carve out several pieces of flesh out of some countries butt.

most likely, poland and france will pay. a big piece of germany was given to poland and france have some german land also.

this is one third party opinion.

Answer 5

particular. I remember the construction of the Wall. Peter Fechter wasn't the only guy or woman who died attempting to circulate over, yet he grew to grow to be a image. I visited West Berlin six months after the wall became into equipped. there have been plant life laid all alongside the wall, marking places the place human beings had died. i became into born in 1943, so it became into my mothers and fathers' technology which drew up the convention concerning to Refugee status, the assertion of Human Rights and based the United international locations. I remember the Hungarian rebellion and the Prague Spring and that i worked with Vietnamese Boat human beings in Hong Kong. No time for a 'broken coronary heart'. i'm nonetheless working for the persecuted, tortured and imprisoned. positioned away your hankie and handle it. As they say, each little helps.

Answer 6

after world war 2 germany was split according to the marshal plan/ one half was independant the other was communist controlled .during the reagan era the cost to keep the half communist was greater than the benefit to russia. so it relinquished control. so the tearing of the wall was more symbolic than anything .and the two sides became free to go back and forth.once that wall was demolished both sides were convinced that the governments were serious and the departure of the russians was genuine. hope that helps.

Answer 7

Because the existence of the wall (and its extension throughout Germany) was the only thing keeping the regions apart.

Answer 8

umm the berlin wall split germany in half. east (commie) and west (decomcrats i think) and when it fell w/ the Communist government Germany was one big happy family again.

Answer 9

...
*sigh*

The fall of the wall symbolized the fall of the USSR, east germany was part of the USSR, there was no reason for the country to be split once the Soviet bloc disintegrated.

Answer 10

Most Germans had friends and family on "the other side of the wall." They were never divided in spirit.
