Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the symbolic end of the division between East and West, and the beginning of the reunification of Germany. This event served as a catalyst for the dismantling of the Soviet system and the end of the Cold War. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The Tiananmen Square massacre, Day of Rage, and Arab oil embargo were significant events, but they did not directly trigger the end of the Cold War.
