Chancellor [[Willy Brandt]] (SPD, 1969-1974) fundamentally altered West German foreign policy through Ostpolitik - a policy of normalization with East Germany and the Eastern bloc. The 1970 Treaty of Moscow and Treaty of Warsaw renounced claims to Germany's lost eastern territories; the 1972 Basic Treaty between the two German states established the principle of mutual recognition.
