(official) What extent, East-West
relations affected over Berlin 1948-1989?
Over Berlin
Other
Berlin Blockade
Berlin Wall+crisis
Ostpolitik
Currency reform 1948
Marshall Aid
Ideological differences
London conference
NATO/ Warsaw Pact
USSR claimed the wet had
broken Potsdam agreement,
treating Germany as a single
economic unit
Soured relations, USSR used
force to block off Wests access
to their half of city
Incidents such as a USSR fighter colliding
with a British transport plane worsened
relations
Broke four power
accord, allowed free
travel between all zones
Allies did not like
this, heightened
tensions
Sign of aggression
by the USSR
Physical sign of
political failure by the
GDR
Brandt criticised the Berlin Wall and the
east for building it, this did not help the
relations as the countries were talking
negatively of each other
Positively improved
relations between both
states
Moscow Treaty 1970, gave
GDR international
recognition, GDR joined UN
Warsaw Treaty 1970, financial
aid given to eastern bloc
country
Four power agreement
1971, improved travel
rights for west Berliners
Basic Treaty 1973, FRG recognised the
GDR, visa introduced to allow west
Berliners to travel to East Berlin 1 day
USSR thought west was trying
to build up western Europe as a
defence against communism
Negative relations with the west, they
thought they were attackingt
communism
Officially to help the
economic recovery of
Europe
USSR claimed the west had broken
potsdam agreement, the reform
united the currency of the three allied
zones which meant the western
zones could be treated as single
economic unit
Caused severe disagreement
with the USSR and the west,
led to the Berlin Blockade
and airlift, blocked travel to
and from Berlin for
westerners
Excluded from the
conference, it was to discuss
German affairs
Hallstein Doctrine,
made relations worse,
isolated GDR
Hallstein Doctrine,
isolated the GDR and
made them loose faith in
the west, they began
looking Eastward.
Damaged relations with
the west
Incompatable ideologies,
communism vs capitalism, they
were unlikely to have many
agreements over things
NATO, the wests relationship with the east dissapeared
as they looked for western integration, NATO meant
the Warsaw Pact was created as a reaction to the west,
damaged relations as they looked towards the eastern
bloc for support that the west was not giving them
Bolstering defence
against
communism in
West
Fears in East,
FRG may be
used to attack
East Germany
GDR accepted into Warsaw Pact
1955, gave them a new sense of
security as they had the mutual
support of Eastern bloc countries
Look eastwards for support, not
westwards, they lost faith in the
West when FRG joined NATO
Made GDR thankful for
loans, allowed GDR to
grow a little, cheaper
exports for GDR
Relations better, GDR
could gain access to
materials they
previosuly could not,
became an unofficial
extra member of EEC
Stopped countries from having
diplomatic relations with GDR,
as they would have theirs with
the FRG removed
Left the GDR isolated,
relatiosn worsened as GDR
looked Eastwards for
support
Drew both states further apart
Ostpolitik
Drove states apart at
international level
propped up the GDR for longer,
keeping the division existing
between them
Broke the Basic laws
commitment to
unification
1984, recognised by
132 states, joined
UN
GDR were reliant on loan,
38.5 billion in debt to FRG,
they were thankful after the
USSR had pulled support
