reunification

Reunification in germany was generally seen as a positive thing but it was not without challenges.  After a long time people were used to their lifestyles they had in east or west for the past few decades, when the wall fell people had to adapt and many peoples lifestyles changed.  West germans were used to a Marshall plan influenced free lifestyle, while east germans were used to following strict rules and policies.  Eastern germans struggled to keep up with the prosperous west germans.  there was a sense of jealousy between the two sides.
