Germany United: October 3rd; Better Late than Never

On the morning of October 2nd, 1990 East Germany and West Germany woke as separate countries for the final time. Tomorrow they would be united. The Berlin Wall would fall to mark the event, and Germans would come together to commence a new future of peace and prosperity together. This day taught us a lot; regardless of differences, politically, economically, and judicially, country men were always country men and they would always share that between each other. They would always be German, born and raised, and it didn't matter if they came from the West side of Berlin or the East, they would always have a common nationality and history to bond them to each other.

Furthermore, this event marked the beginning of the end for Russian spheres of influence across the globe. Good, the democracy, had finally triumphed over the bad, oppressive regimes the communist Soviets had created. It was the light at the end of the tunnel that signaled a new era of peace for millions of people across the globe. This single event reunited families; brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, fathers and sons, and therefore laid the foundation for a prosperous future as a democratic nation that would lead all of Europe through good times and bad.
