“I am not the one trying to speed things up. We are being driven.”
Helmut Kohl
(1930–2017) former chancellor of West Germany (1982-1990) and then the united Germany (1990-1998)
On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. The idea of German reunification, often discussed but considered unrealistic, once again became a subject of heated debate. Reunification now appeared inevitable, but scarcely anyone ventured to prophesy how soon it would come. German chancellor Helmut Kohl remarked those words when was accused of pushing unification plans too fast.
