In the paper, the main approaches of British and American researchers to the analysis of German unification prospects in 1945–1949 are stated. The key arguments of supporters and opponents of the united Germany are determined, chronological periods of each approach’s prevalence on the pages of foreign publications established, and the key historical events that determined the final predominance of the supporters of the Germany’s partition identified. Finally, two main trends within the framework of this approach are stated, and the essential characteristics of them defined.
