The two issues were connected because the main ways chosen to manage German power (including the need for nuclear deterrence) relied on two features of the new Europe: a transformed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), embedding FRG armed forces in a multinational structure; and a new Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty that would limit German military power, along with the military power of everyone else in Europe. Former U.S. ambassador to Russia William Burns has suggested that what most antagonized the Russian authorities was not the first two rounds of post-Cold War enlargement (including to the Baltic countries - Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) but the declaration made at the April 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest that Ukraine and Georgia would in the future become members of NATO. The co-authors excel at analytical history: they show why specific summits mattered, why the East German regime's decision not to use force against the Leipzig demonstrators was so crucial, why the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) survived the end of the Cold War, why Western financial aid was so controversial yet so significant in the transformation processes of the USSR/Russia, why European designs and the new world order were enmeshed, and so on.
