Explanation

In the reunification of 1990, five new federal states joined the Federal Republic of Germany: Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. These states were previously part of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and were integrated into the federal structure of the Federal Republic after reunification. This was a crucial step in creating a unified Germany and strengthening democracy and the rule of law across the country.
