Explanation
The reunification of Germany in 1990 occurred through the accession of the five eastern federal states to the Federal Republic of Germany. This was established under the Unification Treaty, which laid the legal and political foundations for the merger. As a result, the GDR ceased to exist, and the Federal Republic of Germany expanded to include the new states, reinforcing the democratic and federal character of the country.
