Video: The Reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. In this lesson we explore the unique history of East and West Germany after Germany's defeat in WWII and the conditions surrounding its eventual reunification in 1990.
Introduction. On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete âAntifascistischer Schutzwall,â or âantifascist bulwark,â between East and West Berlin.oon the wall was gone and Berlin was united for the first time since 1945. âOnly today,â one Berliner spray-painted on a piece of the wall, âis the war really over.â. The reunification of East and West Germany was made official on October 3, 1990, almost one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
