ABSTRACT

The unification of Germany was a major historical event at the end of the 20th century. In the process of German reunification, various forces at home and abroad launched fierce competition and struggle. The reunification of Germany ended these disputes to a certain extent and realized the reunification of sovereignty. At the same time, the German government has been committed to internal unity and the integration of political, legal, economic, and social systems. Although the internal unification of Germany is an internal problem, it is also affected by the external factors of economic globalization. The impact of economic globalization on sovereign states will inevitably affect the protection of citizens' interests by sovereign states. This paper mainly analyzes the reasons and results of German reunification from the political and economic aspects and tries to provide a new perspective and conclusion for rethinking this important historical issue. Although there are still some deficiencies in this analysis, the consideration of political and economic factors is not very comprehensive, and there is no in-depth analysis of other factors. Nevertheless, this attempt is still beneficial to provide some basic views and Enlightenment for the historical study of German reunification.
