I was in Junior High during this time. I remember our Social Studies teacher telling us that the fall of the Iron Curtain was a major historical event, even if we didn't realize it at the time. The obvious POD here is the hard line coup against Gorbachev after Hungary opened their western border with Austria and before the Berlin Wall came down. I do believe our teacher was right; we had no idea how volatile that time was and I am grateful to be alive today.

One question I have: How are all these people commenting on the events that led to World War 3 if everyone was obliterated in the nuclear exchange?
