It has been 22 years..

On this day in 1990, Germany was officially reunited when the German Democratic Republic was abolished and became part of the Federal Republic of Germany. The country had been split into East and West Germany following its defeat in World War Two and was occupied by the victorious Allied powers. The USA, Britain and France controlled the West and the Soviet Union the East. The reunification saw Berlin become one city again, following the fall of the Berlin Wall dividing the city in 1989. Today is celebrated in Germany as German Unity Day.
