He portrays East Germany as a nation calling out for help amidst lies from the Soviet Union about their intentions for a unified Germany. This message connects to the East German uprising because the Germans were fighting back against this unfair power while watching their neighbors enjoy free elections and freedom.

Although this shows the results of the protest, it hints at the force Soviets consistently showed workers in East Germany and their demands for political freedom and the reestablishment of the German Social Democratic Party.

Since the SED was almost ruined during the crisis, and because the USSR intervened militarily, the USSR became further invested in East Germany and the West stayed committed to having a democratic leader in West Germany.

Their new policies quickly shifted to making Eastern and Central Europe dependent on the Soviet Union and to create peaceful economic and diplomatic relations with members of NATO in order to undermine and push the US out of Europe, which they determined was rightfully theirs to control. This decision was sparked by the East German uprising, as the protesters were clearly unhappy with the current ruling by Ulbricht and the USSR, and the large number of East Germans who were migrating to West Germany. This helped to develop the tensions in the Cold War and the international integration of European nations, (Zubok 102). ]]> 2021-03-12 15:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/9961997/uamdq56gk0jspq06/wish/1303040334 9961997 https://padlet.com/9961997/uamdq56gk0jspq06/wish/1303080037 2021-03-12 15:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/9961997/uamdq56gk0jspq06/wish/1303080037
