Abstract
This paper analyzes the strategies of and a role played by the United States in the reunification of Germany. First, it explains that the main goal of US defense and security policies had been replaced in the second term of the Reagan administration from the containment of the Soviet Union to the fight against terrorism in the 3rd World. This was demanded by the changing international geopolitics toward the termination of cold war and the collapse of the communist bloc. The Bush administration started with this new set of strategies as it faced the rising tensions from the fall of the Berlin Wall to german reunification process. The United States tried to place the reunified Germany into the NATO system and make it a supporting partner of her post cold war strategies, including the war against Iraq. The story of the U.S. involvement in German unification reveals another episode of her continued efforts to hold world hegemony.
