The fall of the Berlin Wall was a significant step towards the end of the Cold War. The long-standing tension between the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc, which had shaped the world's geopolitical landscape for decades, began to ease. This shift led to significant changes in international relations, with many countries reevaluating their alliances and strategic interests. The end of the Cold War also marked a shift in the global balance of power, with the United States emerging as the world's sole superpower.
