I agree with the examples but you have to consider that genuine international efforts were made by all big powers to improve the relations between German and her neighbours. The whole Germany and France issue isn’t something that was decided by people of France or Germany who after centuries of fighting wars decided to be partners in everything not just good neighbours. The credit for friendly Franco-German relations goes to outside powers like US and Britain who literally revamped the entire Western Europe to assist friendly relations between those two countries. Sadly in case of India and Pakistan, the outside powers would rather fuel the fire than make systematic efforts bring those two countries together.

I know you’re right with how you put it but I was trying to think of genuine examples of how ex-enemies became friends. Only thing in favour of India-Pakistan relations is that the common person is more level headed and realises that it is mainly political. Not many influential people have to gain from peace but many people have to lose from it. If there is peace then it won’t point at a third party for problems like security, internal issues of corruption etc and the governments will have to try and solve other more important issues. They can’t blame and distract. If only we could all think like kids. YouTube Still I think we’re pretty friendly on a personal level compared to other big rivalries it is compared to i.e. north/south korea, Israel-Palestine.
