Essay On Germany

At the end of world war I, the European countries got together to decide what Germany's punishments should be after losing the war. The terms that they came up with were nearly impossible for Germany to meet, these terms included Germany to pay in gold, in land, in resources, and to reduce military strength. Also they had to take full responsibility for causing world war I.

In the last few centuries, Europe has experienced major changes both in its population makeup and number. Be that as it may, in the last two decades, it has been faced with an unprecedented decline in population growth while struggling with the issue of an aging population. Indeed, from Helsinki to Lisbon, the birth rate has fallen dramatically in recent years. It has fallen so much so that most countries have put together some form of policies to help mitigate what is perceived as a serious demographic crisis in european capitals. Those policies have yielded different results. While some countries like France are now experiencing a slow growth rate as a result of those policies, others in the likes of Germany are forced to still deal with an ever declining population. In this paper, I will be analyzing, comparing, and contrasting the policies in both countries.

The political, economical, and social order of the Germanic states in the nineteenth century was in a state of chaos and disarray. Politically, the states had the desire of becoming unified and had the possibility to do so if it had not been for fear and neglect to follow through. Economically, the states were in a time of hardships with poor growth development in the fields and were also going through the time of the Industrial Revolution with changes to their everyday lives. Socially, the Germanic states were divided into a feudal system that was determined by birth status and wealth. The middle class, made up of scholars and students, and aristocracy had shared the same fear of the commoners’ revolt due

To begin with, trench warfare was a war tactic that baffled many generals since it was not implemented frequently in battles and they were not trained to fight under those circumstances. Although, it was used during the American Civil War and the Russian- Japanese War, trench warfare dramatically grew during the the first World War. In its first month, the French stopped German forces that were pushing through Belgium. The conflict between both sides was expected to be short but turned longer and bloodier as the first trenches were dug during the Battle of Marne on September 15, 1914. Eventually, the Western Front stretched from France through the North Sea Coast of Belgium.

In the the Battle of the Marne the troops were to be halted. To the steady as german push through Belgium as well as France. That had to also proceed over the first month of World War I. As a conflict both sides had expected to be short and decisive. But it turns out to be longer and bloodier. As both forces began digging the first trenches on the Western Front on September 15 1914.

World War I, also known as the Great War, was a traumatic experience across Europe; the continent was in shock while experiencing the first total war. During the late 1800s to early 1900s, industrialization was at its peak while the leading powers avidly extended their control through imperialism. However, this golden age did not last long as alliances began to divide and create tension among leading powers. Militarism with a strong sense of nationalism further led to Germany’s invasion through Belgium and into Marne. As a result, the total war broke out on either side of Germany with multiple nations involved including Russia, France, Britain, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. With this in mind, despite some believing that the assassination

France and Germany were fighting the Battle of Somme was one of the first battle fought in world war 1.They did trench battles and in the middle of the trenches it was called no man's land.By the end of the first day the British suffured 6,000 casualties.The British wanted to take out the defences of Germany but failed and most of them were up.

The Scramble for Africa in the late 19th and early 20th centuries encouraged many different nations to become involved in colonialism. In this time period, competing European powers carved up the continent of Africa between themselves, due to a variety of political and economic motives. Generally, these powers benefited from these land acquisitions. However, Germany’s neo-imperialist experience was unlike that of the other powers. Within the colony of Namibia, located in South West Africa, the real advantages that Germany received were far outweighed by the disadvantages the German empire faced. Although Germany received elevated political status from occupying colonies, the economic and military efforts that were invested in

Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.

Germany impacts its environment with air pollution, nuclear power, and pollution in the baltic sea. Air pollution affects humans health, Germany has to reduce car gas and factory pollution. They can do this by having carpool lots and more public transportation like buses. The air quality in Germany AQI is 48 which is good all through Germany can help to reduce that number by create less pollution. The nuclear power is a big issue in Germany. They were using 25% of the power for nuclear power. They had 17 nuclear reactors and have shut down 9 and are looking to shut down all of them in 2022. After the nuclear destruction in japan Germany had decided to shut down some reactors and are look to shut down the others in 2022. The water pollution in the baltic sea is a big problem because it impacted 70, 000 sq meters which are inhabitable for high and plant life. This impacts food sources for Germany because they do not have a lot of fish. This also affects jobs because if you were a fisherman you know have to go somewhere else to fish of quit your job. The water pollution was caused by big factories dumping the waste in the baltic sea. That

The Nazis throughout the control of Germany attempted to rid itself of what they considered weak in their army. Weakness to them was any sort of free thinking, defiance, mercy, and anything they deemed inferior to their ideals. To do this, they attributed their defined weakness to that of shame and fear. Which can be seen in Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi when Hans is just a child in a Hitler Youth school and answer what he felt about a fox eating a rabbit. When Hans says “thee poor rabbit” he is then promptly yelled at and sent to sit in the corner while wearing a dunce cap. This humiliation along with his peer’s answers of “the world belongs to the strong…the rabbit was a coward and deserved to die” (Geronimi, Education for Death) influenced Hans into hating the rabbit for being weak. These instilled ideas of weakness in the German children lead them to attempt and weed out the weak by putting them through humiliation or death. All the Light We Cannot See displays the Nazi ideal of driving out the weak as well during Werner’s time at the training school. While Werner was attending, there was periodic checks by the schoolmaster asking who was the weakest in their group. During the schoolmaster’s speech he says “Just as we ask you to each drive the weakness from your own bodies, so you must also learn to drive the weaknesses from the corps” (Doerr 168). The schoolmaster shows just how important strength is to the Nazi party and their need to feel superior to

The real front line of trenches was further away and was barely scratched by the bombardment. The Germans had been deceived by French Commander in Chief Philippe Petain. The Allies then formed a massive counter attack to end the German army for good. I believe the Battles of the Marne are the 2 most important battles of World War One.

As it began, our century drew to a close, with Germany once again the economic powerhouse and political hub of Europe. What is remarkable is how quickly this happened, how unbidden and unanticipated: the toppling of the Berlin Wall in November 1989; the reunification a year later; the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in late December 1991; a resurgent impetus to West European integration in 1992; and NATO enlargement, which was consecrated in April 1999. Unquestionably, this chain of events has profoundly affected Germany’s situation over the past decades. For the first time since the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in 1949 and the painstaking process of
