Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unification initially led to massive unemployment in East Germany as industries that were previously state-owned and supported were privatized and struggled to compete in a capitalist economy. This resulted in large numbers of job losses and a period of economic turmoil in the former East Germany. While there were also efforts to modernize infrastructure and reduce the wealth gap between the two halves, these were more long-term goals and did not have an immediate impact. The relocation of the German capital to Berlin (not Bonn) was also a long-term result rather than a short-term one.
