After a prolonged period of civil unrest, the East German Govt. declared on 9 November 1989 that all citizens from the Eastern side could cross over to the Western side. Hundreds of East Germans climbed onto the Wall, joined by their Western counterparts to celebrate the occasion. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, with the eastern side merging with the Western side into what we officially know as Germany.
The scenes on Nov 9th were historic, with people coming out on the streets and climbing over the the wall to celebrate the occasion.
