What impact did Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev have on the Berlin Wall?

  ANSWER:
C.

Gorbachev's policies created the environment in which the wall ultimately came down.

EXPLANATION: Gorbachev introduced the policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (democratic reform). These policies increased the freedoms of Eastern Europeans. They held protests and demanded freedom of expression, freedom of the press and freedom to travel. These changes helped to bring about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
