The effects of both removed the threat of global communism, particularly in Africa. https://www.cnbc.com/2015/07/16/did-the-fall-of-the-berlin-wall-help-end-apartheid.html https://www.history.com/news/end-apartheid-steps https://www.wits.ac.za/news/latest-news/opinion/2019/2019-11/how-the-fall-of-the-berlin-wall-30-years-ago-resonated-across-africa.html https://www.sahistory.org.za/article/grade-12-topic-4-end-cold-war-and-new-global-world-order-1989-present https://history.state.gov/milestones/1989-1992/apartheid https://www.voanews.com/a/a-13-2009-11-05-voa40/414611.html
