Ostpolitik
Ostpolitik (political towards the East, in German) is a term indicating the new foreign policy of Willy Brandt, chancellor of the the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), decided on October 28th, 1969 parallel to the abandonment of the Hallstein doctrines, in order to set up a process of bringing together and relaxation between the FRG and Eastern Europe, like with the USSR. It is more particularly theorized and installation by the adviser of Willy Brandt Egon Bahr.
Sometimes badly seen by the Atlantic Alliance, which fears that FRG moves away from the Pact by trying a policy too much reconciling with the USSR, Ostpolitik marked a fundamental evolution in the development of a climate of East-West bringing together. Several treaties - with the the USSR (Traité of Moscow) and the Poland, at the time which Brandt kneels in front of the monument with the victims of the ghetto of Warsaw, image which makes the round the world tour] - recognize the inviolability of the Ligne Oder-Neisse in 1970, but not its intangible character. The relations with the German Democratic republic communist are standardized: a quadripartite Traité on Berlin is signed in September 1971. The the USSR agrees there to let forward the goods and people between the liberal part of Berlin and the territory of FRG. The status quo is sealed by the Basic Treaty of the December 21st 1972 which brings FRG and GDR to be recognized mutually, both Germany are allowed jointly the following year with UNO.
