Speeches that have made Europe: Helmut Kohl (1989)

Powerful. Moving. Visionary. There were speeches in the history of the European Union that have made Europe the way it is today. After decades of cold war and division, symbolised by the Berlin Wall, Europe went through truly historic times in 1989. What we know today as the 'Fall of the Berlin Wall' was, at the time, a succession of events unfolding quickly and spreading contagiously from one country to the other. In this moving speech to the European Parliament, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl speaks of hope, change and unity.
