Why didn’t the west allow for german re-unification?
The Soviet Union’s opposition to the reunification of Germany was rooted in a deep and long-lived suspicion that Western capitalist powers (the US and the UK in particular) desired the creation of an aggressively anticommunist and pro-Western Germany. Soviet leaders were determined to block such developments in Germany, a country that they regarded as having the potential to become the linchpin of NATO in Europe.
