After the big protests of 1989 and the Fall of the Berlin Wall the last year of the German Democratic Republic began.
On 18 March 1990 the first free elections for the People's Chamber were held. The winning Alliance for Germany planned the fast reunification of Germany. In May the negotiations between the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic, France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the USA began, which resulted in the signing of the Two Plus Four Agreement on 12th September renouncing all rights the victorious powers held in Germany. In July the two German states went in currency, economic and social union. On 23rd August the People's Chamber decided the accession to the Federal Republic of Germany. On 3rd October 1990 East and West Germany finally celebrated the German Reunification after 41 years of division, this date is still today a national holiday in the united Germany.
