A couple of good articles on what really happened:
- Liam Hoare : "Let's Please Stop Crediting Ronald Reagan for the Fall of the Berlin Wall; The U.S. president and his famous speech, commemorated yesterday by the Berlin government, surely played a role, but Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms and East German protesters were far more important.". Atlantic (9/20/2012).
- Sarah Pruitt : "The Myth That Reagan Ended the Cold War With a Single Speech; Reagan’s speech received relatively little media coverage, and few accolades, at the time". History.com (5/1/2018).
