Easy one this is:

1. Connect:


2. When the Soviet Union attacked Finland in 1939 the Finns began to use a weapon invented by the Franco's Nationalists to repulse the soviet tanks. Often remarking that "Here's the drink to go with the food" a referance to the fact that the soviet comissar for foreign affairs was claiming that they were dropping food and not bombs on Finland. What weapon am i talking about?

3. Ok this is a little twisted. When translated to english the names of two streets come out to be Wall Street and Fredrick Street. Located at the intersection of Wall Street and Fredrick Street was a small hut/shed like structure which was simply named C. What am i talking about and what is its importance in history?

1. Ronald Reagan
2. Molotov Cocktail
3. Checkpoint Charlie (C)

Stage 2: Berlin Wall

Ronald Reagan spearheaded the destruction of the wall and is famously known for "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!".

The Molotov cocktail was derisively named after Molotov (a Soviet politician) who conceived the Molotov plan which was supposed to provide aid to satellites (such as East Germany).

Checkpoint Charlie is the crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin.

And of course, Scorpions - Wind of Change (the clue which led to it all) is about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
