About this listen

On November 9, 1989, the world watched as the Berlin Wall—a global symbol of division—crumbled almost overnight. In this powerful episode of History Deep Dive, we explore the origins, downfall, and lasting legacy of this Cold War landmark. From Gorbachev's reforms and East German resistance to the press conference slip that triggered history, we unpack the human stories, political drama, and modern lessons of that night.

Discover how peaceful protest, clear communication, and global cooperation turned the tide of history—and what the Wall still teaches us today about unity, resilience, and freedom.
