N2  - Examines how German reunification and the end of the Quadripartite Agreement in 1990 impacted the Anglo-American special relationship. Luca Ratti offers new insights into the role of the Anglo-American ÃǾ²Ơ℗special relationship' in German reunification, and examines the impact that Germany's reunification had on Anglo-American and transatlantic relations. Germany's unification in October 1990 was one of the most momentous events in modern European history and world politics since the end of World War II. German unity ended the Cold War in Europe, accelerated the collapse of communist regimes across Eastern Europe, and the disintegration of the USSR in 1991. It also triggered NATO's transformation at the London and Rome summits of the Alliance and deepened Europe's political and economic integration with the signing of the treaty of Maastricht in 1992. Key Features.

He considers Anglo-American views of Germany as Soviet domination over Eastern Europe began to waver
