Vann, in his introduction to Vann and Rowan, argues that the recent signing of the Grundvertrag between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic also contributed to the conceptual change taking place among historians, in that it shows that a united all-German state, far from being normative, was a short-lived phenomenon in German history.
