reunification of Germany

The reunification of Germany refers to the process in 1990 when East Germany (GDR) and West Germany (FRG), previously divided since the end of World War II, rejoined into a single, unified country. This occurred after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, symbolizing the end of Cold War divisions. Political, economic, and social differences were reconciled through agreements and reforms, allowing East and West Germans to merge their governments, institutions, and economies. Reunification marked the end of decades of separation, unifying families and creating a single German nation again.
