October 3, 1990: Germany is Reunified   On this day in 1990, East and West Germany were reunified after 45 years of division and a year after the Berlin Wall began to fall. Many regard “Unity Day” as the end of the Cold War.   Watch The Wall – A World Divided for look at the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall.
