Description

This year marks the 30th anniversary of one of the most historic moments of the 1990s.  On October 3, 1990, East and West Germany were reunited after 45 years of cold war separation. 

The reunification process was set in motion a year earlier when border crossings along the Berlin Wall were unexpectedly opened, finally allowing friends and family who had been divided by the concrete barrier to reunite.  Who can forget the glorious celebrations that took place on top of the Berlin Wall which marked a turning point in modern history? 

On this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the tumultuous events that led up to the toppling of the Berlin Wall and ultimately the reunification of East and West Germany.
