Translation
What is the accession of the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1990 generally called?
- A NATO eastward expansion
- B EU eastward expansion
- C German reunification ✓ Correct answer
- D European Community
Explanation
The 1990 accession of the GDR (East Germany) to the Federal Republic of Germany is commonly called German reunification. NATO and EU enlargements refer to later expansions of those organizations to additional member states, and the European Community was an institution, not the name of this event.
Tips
- Identify keywords like “DDR,” “Beitritt,” and the year 1990; this points to the unification process.
- Use timeline checks: 3 October 1990 is the national day marking this event.
- Eliminate options tied to international organizations’ expansions, which occurred later and involved multiple countries, not an internal German process.
- Distinguish between an event (unification) and institutions (like European bodies).
