20 Years: Fall of the Berlin Wall

Panorama 01/2009: Insights into Southeast Asian and European Affairs

20 years ago, on 9 November 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. Constructed on 13 August 1961, it symbolized the Cold War, and the division of Germany and the world into East and West. With Unification in Germany, profound changes took place not just domestically but also throughout Europe and internationally.
