German 'Reunification' happened before Soviet Union collapsed. Also UK, France etc were against German Reunification as well before it happened.

Also Austria is still not unified with modern Germany.

Austria was never part of Germany. It was part of the Holy Roman Empire and after that the German Confederation, with the latter being dissolved in 1866. The first actual united German state was founded in 1871 as the German Empire, without Austria (Kleindeutsche Lösung).
