Were you born during the Cold War?

[big bad fab]

Yes, 1970 (you wanted more old ones...)

So, between Soviet military intervention in Czechoslovakia, Sino-Soviet conflict, Lin Biao's death and Nixon's trip to Beijing.

And I was born on July 14th, just before De Gaulle's death, in November: aware of my coming to Earth, he decided his time was over...
Or, if you wish, he was so afraid...

As for the end of Cold War, I would say the real date is March 1990, with a reunited Germany, as a divided Germany was both the heart and the symbol of East-West divide.

Summits between Kohl, Gorbachev and Shevardnadze in southern Russia and Malta summit between Reagan, Bush and Gorbachev, in December 1989, were the real places and times where Cold War was really ended.

(Before that, I remember Soviet departure from Afghanistan; I also remember vividly negotiations between Polish government and Solidarnosc, with Tadeusz Mazowiecki becoming first true non-Communist PM in an East European country since 1946.
And, next, droves of East Germans heading West by trains through Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and then by foot to Austria...
Gorbachev was really a great man, if only by deciding to do nothing)

But, sure, Berlin's wall fall and Soviet Union's death are far more emblematic.
