Which politician is associated with the 'Eastern Treaties'?
- A Helmut Kohl

Explanation
The Ostverträge of the early 1970s eased tensions with Eastern Europe and recognized postwar borders, as part of Chancellor Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik.
Tips
- Ostverträge and Ostpolitik both point to Brandt in the early 1970s.
- Kohl is linked to reunification, Adenauer to postwar integration, and Gorbachev to Soviet reforms, not to these treaties.
