Which of the following statements is incorrect? |
In 1990, Lithuania became the first of the 15 Soviet republics to declare its independence. In 1991, the Berlin Wall fell in October. In 1991, Gorbachev resigned as the President of the Soviet Union on December 25. In 1991, Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine decided to annul the 1922 Treaty on the Creation of the USSR and establish the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). |
In 1991, the Berlin Wall fell in October. |
All other statements are correct except the 2nd statement. The statement in option 2 is incorrect. The Berlin Wall fell in November 1989, not in 1991. The Berlin Wall stood for 28 years before its fall in 1989. The Berlin Wall did not mark the beginning of the Cold War; it was built during the Cold War as a physical division between East and West Berlin. The Berlin Wall symbolised the division between the capitalist and the communist world. Built in 1961 to separate East Berlin from West Berlin, this more than 150-kilometre-long wall stood for 28 years and was finally broken by the people on 9 November 1989. This marked the unification of the two parts of Germany and the beginning of the end of the communist bloc. |
