In the spring of 1989, Beijing erupted with the largest spontaneous
demonstrations the Peoples' Republic of China had witnessed in its 40-year
history. The pro-democracy movement quickly spread to over 30 cities
around China before the world witnessed the horrors of the government's brutal
crackdown. As the Chinese people fled from the tanks and guns, they asked
the international press to let the world know the truth.
The iron curtain divided Europe for more than 40 years and "the Berlin Wall" surrounded East Berlin for more than 28 years. In 1989, the governments of Poland, Hungary, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Romania collapsed under their own repressive weight. The fall of the Berlin Wall became the symbol of the Miracle Year of 1989.
