What happened

After the GDR's first free election in March 1990, events moved fast: the Deutsche Mark came to the East on 1 July, and on 12 September the two German states and the four wartime Allies signed the Two Plus Four Treaty, which gave united Germany full sovereignty. On 3 October 1990 the GDR joined the Federal Republic under the Basic Law, and the country was one again. Hundreds of thousands celebrated at the Reichstag in Berlin at midnight. 3 October, the Day of German Unity, is Germany's national holiday. In 1991 the Bundestag voted to move parliament and government from Bonn to Berlin.
