Germany was split with a communist East, and a democratic West.  The metaphor of the “iron curtain” is used to describe the division of the continent.  A physical wall also splits the city of Berlin.  Prior to this, citizens would escape to West Germany and to freedom. Life in East Germany was strict.  The citizens were under constant surveillance by the Ministry of State Security and would sometimes report on those around them.  In West Germany the citizens lead comfortable, thriving lives.The wall remained up until the 1980’s when a crowd on citizens knocked it down.  

People sought change through propaganda. It was the goal to reunite the broken country and to stop the Soviet’s spread of communism. In Anatoly Chernyaev diary she explains her excitement for the upcoming change. Eastern Europe collapsed in 1989-90 and both parts were united.  The war ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.  Europe became democratic.
