- bei den Montagsdemonstrationen 1989 in der DDR
Why this is the correct answer
In autumn 1989, East Germans began gathering every Monday evening in Leipzig and other cities to demand political reform, freedom to travel, and ultimately the end of SED rule. These Monday Demonstrations (Montagsdemonstrationen) chanted 'Wir sind das Volk' — we are the people — asserting popular sovereignty against a government that claimed to rule in the people's name. Within weeks, the demonstrations had grown to hundreds of thousands of participants, contributing directly to the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989.
