    The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the dramatic end of an era that had shaped global politics for nearly half a century. The Cold War, a period of intense ideological, political, and military tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, had divided the world into two distinct blocs. At the heart of this division stood Germany, and within it, the iconic Berlin Wall—a physical symbol of the separation between East and West. For much of the post-World War II period, this wall was not just a barrier dividing a city but a vivid representation of the ideological conflict between communism and capitalism, between Soviet control and Western freedom.  
    The Cold War began shortly after the end of World War II, as the victorious Allied powers, particularly the United States and the Soviet Union, emerged as the world's superpowers. The ideological rift between these two nations—one advocating for a free-market economy and democracy, the other for a centrally controlled, one-party state—became a defining feature of global politics. The division of Germany into East and West in 1949 symbolized the larger division between East and West, and Berlin, split into sectors controlled by the Allies, became the focal point of this division. 
    The Berlin Wall was erected in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the West. It quickly became one of the most visible manifestations of the Cold War. The wall separated families, prevented personal freedoms, and symbolized the repressive nature of the East German regime. For decades, it seemed an unmovable part of the geopolitical landscape. However, by the late 1980s, the winds of change were beginning to stir. Gorbachev’s reforms in the Soviet Union, including policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), sparked a wave of political change throughout Eastern Europe. As these reforms loosened Soviet control, the call for more political freedom and reform became louder in East Germany.

    World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant. 
    The enduring image of World War I is of men stuck in muddy trenches, and of vast armies deadlocked in a fight neither could win. It was a war of barbed wire, poison gas, and horrific losses as officers led their troops on mass charges across No Man’s Land and into a hail of bullets. While these impressions are all too true, they hide the fact that trench warfare was dynamic and constantly evolving throughout the war as all armies struggled to find a way to break through the opposing lines. 
    There was another war going on beneath the trenches, a war of tunnels and mines fought by men who didn’t see sunlight for days at a time and who lived in constant fear of cave-ins and enemy detection. These men, who had mostly been miners in civilian life, lived a twilight existence, working long hours in silence and near darkness while great battles raged overhead. They suffered from fatigue, stress, and the knowledge that they could be killed at any time by an unseen enemy. Despite this, they persevered, and the mines they laid under enemy trench systems turned the tide of at least one major battle.
