Explanation
After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, there were far-reaching political changes in Germany. The German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Republic of Germany came closer together in terms of state and politics. This process led to the integration of the GDR into the political system of the Federal Republic in 1990. There is a well-established term for this historical event, which is used in politics, history and the media.
