People celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This year's NHD theme is Turning Points in history. The fall of the Berlin Wall created a turning point from 1989-1991 (McBride). The fall of the Berlin Wall occurred on November 9, 1989. This political turning point was a result of the crumbling of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany and Soviet Union (McCartney). The fall of the Berlin Wall created a turning point by further pushing the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 (McBride).
