From c. 1800 onwards there was a growing nationalist movement in Germany. German intellectuals interested in politics looked at the world around them and concluded that the most successful countries in Europe were nation-states (such as France, Britain, Russsia and the Netherlands). These early German nationalists also included liberals, wanted to curb the power of the hereditary monarchs, princes, dukes and so on in the German-speaking countries. There was a widespread view that this ought to be done both locally (by establishing parliaments in the individual states) but also 'from above', by tying individual states into a nation.

Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev made it clear to Eastern European countries that the Soviet Union would no longer intervene to prop up their governments.

A consequent wave of change spread throughout Eastern Europe: Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and East Germany.

In the case of East Germany, there was a feeling in both East and West that the country should be reunited.
