We are the price of German jokes.

Germany paid a huge price for truly reunifying Germany into a sovereign country, such as giving up nuclear weapons, disarmament, extending loans, interest-free loans and so on. The German people are also eager for German reunification, so they are also working very hard for German reunification.

The first is the unification of West Germany. After World War II, the western part of Germany was occupied by the United States, France and Britain, and the Federal Republic of Germany was established. Under the leadership of Britain, France and the United States with relatively high economic and technological level, the development level of West Germany has recovered rapidly. With the change and development of the international situation, Britain, France and the United States also agreed to the reunification of Germany, but Britain, France and the United States can only be the masters of West Germany and have no right to manage East Germany. Therefore, this important task requires West Germany to go to the Soviet Union, the head of East Germany at that time, to discuss the unification of Germany.

The olive branch of West Germany promoted the unification of East and West Germany. At that time, the international situation was tense, and the Soviet Union and the United States were still in the cold war stage. Therefore, the United States and the Soviet Union have no extra energy to manage the unification of East and West Germany, and the United States and the Soviet Union are in the Cold War. Coupled with the reform measures of the Soviet Union at that time, the economic situation of the Soviet Union was not optimistic, and more funds and energy were invested in cold war weapons. When West Germany talked with the Soviet Union about the unification of East and West Germany with generous conditions, it was precisely because West Germany provided the Soviet Union with a loan of 5 billion marks and extended the loan period. It sent a lot of materials and food to the Soviet Union. Gorbachev of the Soviet Union, after tasting the sweetness and the olive branch thrown by West Germany, agreed to the reunification of East and West Germany.

Germany gave up nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The biggest concession Germany made was to give up the research and development of advanced nuclear, chemical and biological weapons at that time and carry out disarmament actions in order not to pose a threat to other countries. In terms of territorial disputes, a large area of land disputed with neighboring countries was abandoned. So Germany paid a huge price to unify East Germany and West Germany.
