germany is the current european leader also because of the reunification, and in fact many people feared this would happen before the reunification (i.e. former italian 4-times-premier Andreotti is quoted as saying "I love germany, that's why I'd prefer to have two of them").

One thing is to say that German has the best economy of the Eurozone, which is a fact we can all agree on. Another thing entirely is to attribute this to reunification, considering how the situation is in the Eastern half of Germany.

I don't attribute it solely to reunification, I'm saying that adding 16M people to an economy helped it in making it bigger than it was before.
