 * Interview Subject: Joel Wallskog (Joey's father) **

After learning about the Cold War and how tension between the Soviet Union and the United States effected affected life in both countries, it was very beneficial to learn about the fall of the both the Berlin Wall and Soviet power. It was very interesting hearing about the reunification between East and West Germany greatly changed the recent way of life. Berlin and Germany were quickly transitioned into a unified country, with little to no tension.

No, the citizens of the United States were not extremely affected by this event, but to a tourist traveling throughout Berlin both before and after the destruction of the Berlin Wall would affected him to a great extent. The city of Berlin was assuaged, and the people were united. With the Berlin Wall being a very dark time in Germany’s history, the destruction and impact created a very unified county set up for success.
