Can You Imagine a Wall in a Town?

Today's 20 years since the Berlin Wall was demolished on 9 November 1989. Today we can't imagine having a wall in a town, but back then it was one of the biggest Cold War symbol.

Today most people have mobile phones, cable television, parabolic antennas and of course, home computers with the Internet. Until the late 1980's, radio and television were much easier to put under government control. A government could easier lock up its own people at home, banning them from travelling with strict police controls. This was once reality, and I'm not talking about back in the days of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece or the Roman Empire, but back in the days of Madonna, Michael Jackson and Roxette.

The fall of the Berlin Wall marked a spread of democracy. On 3 October 1990 the FR Germany and the GDR merged and on 25 December 1991 it was decided to break up the USSR. The Cold War was over.
