What, in your opinion, were the major problems that emerged from the fall of the wall for the newly united
Germany? Could some of these problems have been avoided? How? In answering these questions, you

Henry Ashby Turner, Jr., pp. 225–255
A Concise History of Germany by Mary Fulbrook, pp. 243–257. Who were the players during the “two plus
four” negotiations and what were their interests? What was the overall mood in Germany at the time and
how would the alternatives you suggest have affected that mood?
