- jacquesm 8y agoWell, that I'm not sure of because the wall rested for a pretty big chunk on the iron fist of the Soviet Empire while it lasted but there definitely would have been far fewer successful escapes from Eastern Germany to the West.
- yodon 8y agoThe wall fell because Reagan goaded the former Soviet Union into an arms race they couldn’t risk not joining but couldn’t afford to compete in. Economic collapse is not fun for empires, regardless of the amount of technology.
