    How was it an illegal annexation if the rulers of the country signed a contract that was literally about uniting with western germany.

    I just explained how. You can review the articles governing West Germany to verify this if you’d like. Are you being obtuse or did you just not read what I said?

    I will ignore everything else you said until you clarify.

    Edit: actually I will reply quickly to the rest because it is just quotes from one article doing the bullshitting I mentioned. They play fast and loose right off the bat, saying the peolle voted four times for reunification, twice before and twixe after. Let’s look at their examples.

    1. The one I alreasy described to you and that you are obtusely avoiding thinking about: the vote for members of their analog of a parliament. This is not a plebiscite for joining West Germany.

    2. The exact same thing but for local elections.

    3. The exact same thing but for newly entering state elections.

    4. The exact same thing but for the whole of Germany.

      Do you have a source for what the elections were because I provided one.

      Also in representative surveys after the unification 90% of east germans were happy about it, which indicates that it was in favor of the east german population. Source: the article above

      I think your point doesn’t really have power if there is no proof of there not being the public votes.

      I will reply to you as soon as you have sources for your claims

        The one you provided supports what I said. You do not seem to be understanding what I am saying. Please ask for clarification if you are having trouble understanding.

        And? Doesn’t make it legal.

        I think it does because liberals are all about feigning belief in rules and the rule of law. Right until they don’t.

        What sources would you even need? Do you know how to talk to other people and ask them questions when you want to know something?

          My source said that there were four equal elections in which the population voted in favor of the unification, although 55 percent thought it happened to fast, 80 percent were in favor.

          I need sources because we are talking about facts in history that you claim to be false
