If East and West Germany had not reunified, it is most likely that **West Germany would have grown much stronger than East Germany**.
During the years following the division, West Germany experienced significant economic growth, benefiting from a strong economy, integration into Western European markets, and support from other Western nations. On the other hand, East Germany struggled with economic issues, limited political freedoms, and reliance on Soviet support. Without reunification, these trends would likely have continued, resulting in an increased disparity in strength and prosperity between the two regions.
