1. Adenauer's greatest achievements;
-he reestablished German democracy following the Nazis, (Verdict A)
-he oversaw the beginning of an economic miracle, secured a place for West Germany in the international community, brought economic prosperity, material wealth, political stability, and relative security. (Verdict B)
-brought Germany out of the abyss Hitler caused, tied West Germany into Western Europe and brought them closer (Verdict C)
2. Criticisms of Adenauer are not justified because although some said that he completely neglected the concerns of East Germany, it seems to me that he just did not want to do anything risky such as reunite the country so long as the Soviet Union was so closely tied in with East Germany, as there was no predicting what might have happened otherwise. However, it is true that he did not keep his promise of focusing on German reunification.
