What did the fall of the Berlin Wall lead to?

The fall of the Berlin Wall was quite symbolic. The wall divided the city for about 40 years. In addition, she divided the people of Germany and was a symbol of 2 different ideologies. Germany after the war became a developed capitalist state. During all these years, the GDR was a repository of a contingent of Soviet troops and clearly demonstrated the flawedness of Soviet ideology. The Wall fell on November 9, 1989, and the rapid process of German reunification began. The fall of the wall became a symbol of the approaching end of Soviet influence in Western Europe, and the end of the USSR itself with its ideology.
