U.S. production of aluminum dropped dramatically in the early 1990s because the Russians dumped aluminum on the world market. Why? The opening of the Hungarian border, 2 May 1989, led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in November, 1989, which led to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, which caused them to downsize their military, which gave them overcapacity in aluminum production, which caused them to dump in the world markets, which led to the closing of U.S. smelters such as the one near Charlotte, NC.
