Officially on the third of October, 1990, East Germany reunited with West Germany. There was a significant amount of apprehension from the perspective of social welfare. The East was known to have a lower standard of living, including less access to goods, products, services and a balanced diet. In addition, education and work opportunities were lower prior to the time of reunification. The industrialized West, had concerns over the ability of the East to quickly improve and reform much of the basic infrastructure in order to get in line with the West's standards.
Over time, the East greatly improved and adopted the same standards for living, including improved roadways, education, products and services. The standards are on par with much of the rest of the country now. In addition, the system effectively integrated much of what was once thought to be only a drain on the West's financial and industrial systems. And of course, Berlin has resumed being the capital. In fact, much of what is done and said in Germany today, is considered the guiding parameters for continued growth and development in the Eurozone block. The European Union relies on Germany's status as an economic power house, clearly demonstrating some of the positive effects that have resulted from reunification.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Your question is incomplete. You did not provide the excerpt or any specific reference for the context, the speech, the time, the article, or the book.
However, trying to help you, we did some research and found the following speech. If that is the case, we can comment on the following.
<em>"The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty." </em>(George Washington).
So Washington's main reason for making the statement was that he was worried that the leaders of political parties would act out of self-interest, dividing the nation into factions.
On his final days as United States President, George Washington publicly expressed concern on the issue of political parties. He was against political parties because it could form factions that defended their own particular interests and agendas, and could create an unnecessary division between the citizens of the country.
At the time, Hitler had mental illnesses that were causing his mind a BIG issue. Though, the main reason is that in that area of Germany, named "Nazi Germany", the people were against the religeon to the FULLEST. Which meant Hitler carried out the dislikings of the religeon and killed thousands of Jews.
I hope that this helps! Sorry if this is wrong!
