This is an awful which is heavily biased towards the American government which in fact had no input on this. The wall came down for a variety of reasons including Gorbachev’s relaxing of Russian foriegn policy dcotrines which basically allowed Communist countries to make their own minds up, without Soviet intervention. Also heavily involved was the opening of the Hungarian – Austrian border in 1989 which allowed GDR citizens to move west. Peaceful protests began across the GDR and the wall fell.
