In commemoration to November 9, 1989, the U.S. European Command shared a photograph, which shows the Berlin Wall, the infamous barrier, that was torn down 33 years back; it stood for at least 10,315 days between East and West.
On November 9, 1989, the government of Germany opened the wall, which allowed free passage between the divided parts of the city.
The U.S. European Command highlighted that this indicated the end of the #ColdWar as other Eastern European countries were taking action to end communist rule.
According to information shared by Wikipedia, the wall was a guarded concrete border that separated Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Moreover, the #Berlinwall surrounded the entire West Berlin, and it separated from East German territory. The German Democratic Republic initiated the construction of the wall on August 13, 1961.
