Solution

The event that led to a reunited Germany was B. The fall of the Berlin Wall.

Here are the steps that led to this event:

  1. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Germany.

  2. Over the years, the Wall became a symbol of the division between East and West, communism and capitalism.

  3. In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev, began to implement policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring). These policies led to greater political and economic freedoms in Eastern Europe.

  4. In 1989, peaceful protests began in East Germany. These protests were initially focused on political reform, but they quickly turned into demands for reunification with West Germany.

  5. On November 9, 1989, the East German government announced that all East Germans were free to go to West Germany. Thousands of people flocked to the Wall, and in the ensuing days, people began to tear it down.

  6. The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the beginning of the end for East Germany. Over the next year, negotiations took place to reunify the two Germanys.

  7. On October 3, 1990, East and West Germany officially reunited, marking the end of the Berlin Wall and the division of Germany.
