Bilateral relations / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Relations between the United States and West Germany were extremely close based on mutual political, economic, and military cooperation and their shared hostility with East Germany and the Soviet Union. Both countries viewed East Germany as a proxy state for Soviet interests which they believed could have undermined stability in the region especially regarding the status of Berlin.
