Abstract
ID: 21
From 1949 to 1955, German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had to choose between the unity of Europe and that of his country, and he chose the former through membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This paper examines Chancellor Adenauer’s controversial decision to prioritize European integration over reunification and the Federal Republic of Germany’s path to accession in NATO. Through declassified NATO documents, speeches, newspaper articles, and scholarly sources, this paper pieces together Adenauer’s hopes for the newly christened FRG with NATO and the backlash they faced on the road to accession. An important source to piecing together Adenauer’s hopes for Germany is a speech titled “Statement by Dr. Adenauer,” given at West Germany’s accession into NATO on May 9, 1955. This source offers Adenauer’s own thoughts on his actions that, while ensuring West Germany’s continued existence, condemned East Germany to nearly half a century of isolation from its counterpart. Although Adenauer could not see the future, he still faced controversy and resistance head on and remained steadfast in his decisions, and those decisions have stood the test of time.
