when did the ussr agree to a unified germany inside of nato?
23 may 1949
in january 1990, gorbachev privately agreed to permit east german reunification with west germany, but rejected the idea that a unified germany could retain west germany's nato membership. his compromise that germany might retain both nato and warsaw pact memberships did not attract support. in may 1990, he visited the u.s. for talks with bush; there, he agreed that an independent germany would have the right to choose its international alliances. he later revealed that he had agreed to do so because u.s. secretary of state james baker promised that nato troops would not be posted to eastern germany and that the military alliance would not expand into eastern europe. privately, bush ignored baker's assurances and later pushed for nato expansion. on the trip, the u.s. informed gorbachev of its evidence that the soviet military—possibly unbeknownst to gorbachev—had been pursuing a biological weapons program in contravention of the 1987 biological weapons convention. in july, kohl visited moscow and gorbachev informed him that the soviets would not oppose a reunified germany being part of nato. domestically, gorbachev's critics accused him of betraying the national interest; more broadly, they were angry that gorbachev had allowed the eastern bloc to move away from direct soviet influence.
