• The Wall fell as the combined result of both internal and external pressures. The evolution of the USSR played a crucial role in this process.
• On his first official visit to West Germany in May 1989, Mikhaïl Gorbachev, whose ambition was to save his country from decline and ruin through an innovative policy based on restructuring (perestroïka) and openness (glasnost), informed Chancellor Kohl that the Brezhnev doctrine had been abandoned ; Moscow was no longer willing to use force to prevent democratic transformation of its satellite states.

• Finally on July 1, 1990, East and West Germany were united. They assumed West Germany's old name, The Federal Republic of Germany.
