Consequences of the Berlin Wall's Fall

Philip KLA, CEO of Euro News, reflects on post-WWII Europe, highlighting France's recovery aided by the Marshall Plan. The 1960s saw cultural and economic growth, marked by the Beatles and the formation of the European Union. France emerged as a leader in Europe during the 60s and 70s. However, the 80s brought economic decline and the fall of the Berlin Wall, leading to German reunification.
