What exactly is the Berlin Wall? Is there any special historical significance? Is it related to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Soviet regime?

After the end of World War II, the victorious countries such as the Soviet Union and the United States jointly managed Berlin, the capital of Germany. Due to serious ideological differences, Germany was forced to split into West Germany and East Germany. Berlin is also divided into two parts. The Berlin Wall is the dividing line between East and West Germany in Berlin. The completion of the Berlin Wall was also the beginning of the Cold War.

After the Iron Curtain of the Cold War was pulled open, NATO led by the United States (including West Germany) and Warsaw Pact led by the Soviet Union (including East Germany) launched a 40-year military confrontation. At the end of 1980s, the reunification of East and West Germany declared the end of the Cold War. After the reunification of Germany, the Berlin Wall is about to be demolished, but it still leaves a part as a historical witness.

Therefore, the Berlin Wall is a symbol of the Cold War, and its completion and demolition represent the process of confrontation between the two major military groups in the world. Due to years of military competition, the Soviet Union was severely weakened, and the Berlin Wall disintegrated shortly after it was demolished. The collapse of the Berlin Wall heralds the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact, the disintegration of the Red Soviet Union and the arrival of a new world pattern.
