Europe, especially Margret Thatcher in Britain were very against German Unification... but in the end Unification was a victory for captitalism or communism... which was an important at the time.

France (Mitterand) told Khöl (Germany) it wasn't the right time, maybe in ten years, to reunite or to tear the wall down. But it happened because there were already holes in Bulgaria the previous summer. Unification is more the symbol of the communism falldown than a capitalist victory.

Actually that was my political economy 101 course credo I took in uni.
