What iconic structure was Schabowski associated with?
Eiffel Tower
The Berlin Wall
Great Wall of China
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Answer
The Berlin Wall, a prominent symbol of the Cold War era, is closely associated with Günter Schabowski, the East German politician who famously announced its unexpected fall. During a press conference on November 9, 1989, Schabowski stumbled through a muddled explanation of new travel regulations, inadvertently triggering a momentous event—the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent reunification of Germany.
