Answer:
The Brandenburg Gate Speech, delivered on June 12, 1987 by President Reagan, was the most significant speech at the end of the Cold War. There, President Reagan addressed Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the Soviet Union, directly, asking him directly to tear down the wall that separated East Germany from West Germany, thus ending the separation of both parts of the city of Berlin. But this speech had behind it a much deeper ideological baggage, in which President Reagan urged the Soviet Union to cease its actions and surrender, given the demonstrated inability to maintain communism on a global scale that the Soviets had demonstrated.
Thus, 2 years later, the wall was demolished and the German reunification took place, being one of the final episodes of the Soviet defeat in the Cold War.

Answer: The HOLOCAUST
Context/details:
The Holocaust is a term used to describe the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews and others in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
Holocaust" is a term that means "burning the whole thing." It comes from terms related to burnt offerings of animals in ancient religions. Essentially, the unwanted Jews and others in Germany were treated like animals to be slaughtered. You can find appearances of the term "holocaust" in use already during World War II, such as the records of Britain's House of Lords in 1943 noting that a member there had asserted that "the Nazis go on killing" and urging some relaxing of immigration rules so that "some hundreds, and possibly a few thousands, might be enabled to escape from this <u>holocaust</u>.” But the term gained its main currency as historians in the 1950s began to use the term in reference to the Nazi's campaign of genocide.
By the way, the term "genocide" is another that came into use around the same time. Raphael Lemkin, a Polish legal scholar (of Jewish ethnicity) had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915. He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference also to the Holocaust. The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people. Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted. Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law.
