Today, there is now a thing called a “Buffer Zone”, which is a region that lies between two rivals, cutting down the threat of conflict. On November 9, 1989, hundreds of people were in Germany to cheer and celebrate the joyous occasion of the destruction of the Berlin Wall. People used shovels, picks, anything they could find to help tear down the wall. “The rivalry had been, without a question, the most expensive, the most global, and certainly the most dangerous of any in recorded history. Two nations of enormous strength, the union of Soviet Socialist republics in the east and the United States of America in the west, had played a major part for it was Germany, and over Germany that the Cold War began.” quoted by James A. Warren.
