German Unity Treaty

The German Unity Treaty, signed in 1990, was an agreement that officially reunified East and West Germany after decades of separation during the Cold War. It outlined the legal, political, economic, and social integration of the two Germanys into a single, unified nation. The treaty established the procedures for incorporating East Germany into the Federal Republic of Germany, ensuring smooth political transition, adopting West Germany’s laws and institutions, and providing for economic stability and social cohesion. This historic treaty marked the end of division and the beginning of a unified Germany within the European community.
