The fall of the Berlin Wall symbolises which of the following events in International Politics?

Collapse of the Second World

The correct answer is Option 4 : Collapse of the Second World

• The Berlin Wall symbolised the division between the capitalist and the communist world.

• The "Second World" was a geopolitical term for the Soviet Union and its satellite states in Eastern Europe, which were allied against the capitalist "First World" of the United States and its allies. The fall of the wall was the most dramatic symbol of the swift and peaceful revolutions sweeping across these communist states. It marked the end of Soviet control over Eastern Europe and signaled the end of the Cold War itself.

• The fall of the wall also directly led to the Unification of Germany. The wall had been a physical and ideological barrier separating East and West Germany for nearly three decades. Its dismantling opened the way for the two countries to reunify on October 3, 1990.
