How Many Years Ago Was 1989

If you’ve ever wondered how many years ago it was, look no further than 1989. This landmark date happened on June 5th, 1989, and has been remembered by many in various ways. A microprocessor called the 486 series is released by Intel, opening the door for more powerful PCs. In addition, Microsoft releases the Office Suite, including word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications. It’s also a significant year in history, as the Berlin Wall is toppled and the East German Government falls.

The country had been going through enormous changes since the late 1980s, and 1989 was no exception. Protesters began assembling in Tiananmen Square in Beijing in April, calling for democratic reforms and the end of corruption. In response, the Chinese government declared martial law and put its people under arrest. However, the protests continued to grow throughout the spring and early summer of 1989. The military eventually crushed them and the protests were eventually put to an end.
