At the beginning of his chancellorship, from 1982 he pursued Ostpolitik, a policy RIGpWHQWHEHWZHHQ(DVWDQG:HVWZKLFKZDVLQL tiated by his predecessors, Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he had to assu- re his Western partners as well as the East-European countries, that unified Germany would not be willing to achieve European hegemony. First of all he confirmed that historically German territories east of the Oder- Neisse line were definitively part of Poland, therefore a German ±Polish border treaty was signed in November 1990. After the reunification, Germany became the number one trading partner for most of the Central and East European countries, so these were slowly being drawn into the German sphere of economical influence. Kohl was also a central figure in the eastern enlargement of the European Union and supported the process of including new member states in NATO, particularly the so- FDOOHG9LVHJUiG*URXS'XULQJWKH%DONDQFRQIOLFW.RKO¶VJRYHUQPHQWOHGWKHHIIRUW to push of international recognition of Croatia and Slovenia, after the states declared independence. In this way Bonn wanted to act as an indepentent, sovereign state, and to pressurize other European governments to do the same. But instead of a pea- ceful transformation of Yugoslavia, a war broke out, and due to this fiasco, Kohl returned to European multilateral crisis management and solutions.
