It reveals how debates within the CDU/CSU helped shape West Germany's role in both NATO and the emerging European Union, culminating in reunification, and considers the legacy of those historical developments for Germany's current and future role in the world. 521 Specialized. 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookAppearance of the text and page layout can be modified according to the capabilities of the reading system (font family and font size, spaces between paragraphs, sentences, words, and letters, as well as color of background and text) 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookAll content can be read as read aloud speech or dynamic braille 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookHas alternative text descriptions for images 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookTable of contents to all chapters of the text via links 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookIndex with links to referenced entries 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookElements such as headings, tables, etc for structured navigation 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookPage list to go to pages from the print source version 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookThe publication does not contain motion simulations that can cause motion sickness 532 1 |3Adobe EPUB eBookPage breaks included 532 8 |3Adobe EPUB eBookNo conformance information is available 588 Description based on online resource and publisher information; title from PDF title page (viewed on November 11, 2025). 588 Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. 610 20 Christlich-Demokratische Union Deutschlands (Germany : West) 610 20 Christlich-Soziale Union. 610 20 North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 650 7 History. |2ukslc 650 7 European history. |2thema 651 0 Germany (West) |xHistory. 651 0 Germany (West) |xPolitics and government. 651 0 Germany (West) |xForeign relations. 651 0 Europe |xHistory |y1945- 776 08 |z0-19-538737-6 830 0 Oxford scholarship online. 906 BOOK
