Answer:

The Collapse of the Soviet Union

Step-by-step explanation:

Gorbachev's decision to loosen the Soviet yoke on the countries of Eastern Europe created an independent, democratic momentum that led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, and then the overthrow of Communist rule throughout Eastern Europe.

Hope this helped!

Have a wonderful day!
