What's the legacy of the fall of Berlin Wall? | Inside Story

What's the legacy of the fall of Berlin Wall?
This week marks 30 years since the Berlin Wall came down, signalling the end off the decades-long Cold War
It was the single most important moment since the end of the Second World War. On the night of November 9th, 1989 - the Berlin Wall came down.
It drew to a close one of Europe's darkest chapters. Since 1961, the wall was a physical reminder of a divided East and West.
The Soviet Union on one side, and NATO and its Western allies on the other.
Hundreds of East Germans climbed on top of the wall, chipping away at the concrete with hammers. On the other side, their cousins came out in support in their thousands.
The East Germans were shouting for freedom and democracy after decades of Communist rule.
But did it bring about a new world order?

This guy is the best presenter on Al Jazeera (Inside Story). His energetic assertiveness keeps the guests sharp and engaged during the whole segment with thoughtful answers to his questions. His sense of time management is also far better than the others which subsequently spares the viewers of excessive interruptions. I think he should be the lead presenter on I.S if possible

So, what will happen to our world on the 30th anniversary, November 9?

Kind of twisted from the very start of this news program. It wasn’t “Soviet Union on one side and the NATO and Allies on the other side”. The Soviet Union was part of the Allies. It’s all allies divided into Soviet Union, American, british, and french territories. Secondly, there was no NATO at the time. NATO was later created exclusively to create a hostile relationship with the Soviet Union and others partners.

German unification and a milestone in history. This meant liberalisation for our eastern neighbours, but for the West it meant open borders, larger influx of migrants, and the formation of a homogenous economic system.
