Description
This project examines the development of German reunification in 1990 from the perspective of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), and explains how the policy of reunification was developed and advanced by the West German political leadership and was not the product of mass support. The development of the reunification policies, beginning with the first West German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer (1949-1963), and continuing to the reunification under the chancellorship of Helmut Kohl in 1990 are examined in an effort to reveal how the policies were promoted to the masses and gain their support for reunification.
