They aimed to destroy this union for good, no matter what it cost them or their former ally.

1969-1974 - Détente describes an ease in tension between the Soviet Union and the US. By this time both nations have realized the uselessness of stockpiling nuclear weapons and aim to work together.

1989 - Since the end of WWII, Germany had been divided into two distinct groups of people: Western Allies and Eastern Soviets. A wall was placed between the groups to keep them separate and especially to keep western ideals out of the remainder of Germany. Eventually America challenged Germany to tear down the wall, which it did. The demolition of the wall represented both the blending of the two sides of Germany as well as the fall of its communist party.
