In short, in the second half of 1990, Kohl got the building permits that he
needed to move the prefabricated structures that had served West Germany wellâ
its alliance, constitution, currency, and market economyâeastward to replace the
ruins of Eastern socialism. The two halves of Germany carried out an economic
merger in July 1990, and then completed political and legal union on the
following October 3.
Neither Bush nor Gorbachev attended the celebration in Berlin, as they had
discussed in Helsinki. 224 The American had other priorities and the Russian did not
find it wise to take part in the celebrations, given public opinion at home. While
their absence dimmed the wattage of the celebrationsâKohl could not invite other
world leaders as a result, because doing so would have drawn questions about
Bushâs and Gorbachevâs absence from the ranksâit had no legal impact on the
proceedings. The division of Germany was past. Kohl got his happy ending, at
least for a while.
