Best Answer

Answer: Politically, the seeds for the complete breakdown of the former Soviet Union started during the Mikhail Gorbachev period when attempts at reform as well as summit conferences with United States President Ronald Reagan contributed to the end of the Cold War. To make a long story short, the Soviet Union was on the verge of bankruptcy, due to its enormous military spending during the Cold war era. The German reunification started on May 2, 1989, when Hungary decided to dismantle its portion of the Iron Curtain and open its borders on August 23, causing an exodus of thousands of East Germans to enter West Germany via Hungary on September 11. All the above is correct, ultimately it was economics.
