The fall of East Germany is attributed to the "Monday Demonstrations," where citizens marched around churches with candles chanting "We are the people." By late 1989, the movement grew to hundreds of thousands. The regime's plan to use paratroopers to shoot protesters in Leipzig failed when the commander refused the order, leading to the collapse of the communist government.
