- W373065824 abstract "In 1989, a series of popular protests in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) forced the resignation of Erich Honecker and the fall of the wall separating the East German capital from West Berlin. The speed of the organization of the opposition and the fall of the regime surprised many Western observers. Although dissatisfaction with economic and political conditions was assumed to be widespread in the GDR, the repressive character of the state made opposition very costly. Yet, it grew. The dramatic increase in the open opposition to the regime stemmed in part from changes in external conditions, as liberalization in other Eastern European states facilitated organizing protest in the GDR. The Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev had begun to let the countries in the Soviet bloc deal more independently with their own internal and foreign politics. The declining Soviet commitment to the Honecker regime lowered the perceived costs of protest, as a military response and invasion became less likely. Neighboring countries such as Hungary had initiated moves toward open, competitive elections. Since Hungary was a popular travel destination for East Germans, the opportunities for emigration to the German Federal Republic through neighboring states presented a huge problem to the regime in East Berlin. By the middle of 1989, many East Germans were heading to Hungary on “vacation” with all their worldly possessions, having locked one last time their East German apartments." @default.
