Background and discussion
[edit]Due to the Cold War, Europe had been divided, the main goal was to reunite the countries. Members of NATO encouraged cooperation in order to make a better future for the alliance.[1] There were talks to improve the relationship between East and West Germany. In the declaration it is stated that peace must be worked for, not taken for granted. The Soviet Union would dissolve just two and a half years later.[2]
