The World War II ( Wwii )

more than 1.6 million were killed in Auschwitz, they didn 't feed babies to see how long

World War I (WWI) brought unprecedented change to the world. Never before had the entire world engaged in such brutal conflict. World War I brought about great pain and sorrow for the whole world. Even countries who were not directly involved in front line combat bore the suffering of financial and social limitations that affected the entire world during this time.

Every time there is a war at least one country has to deal with the consequences left behind. After World War II numerous countries had to face reconstruction because they were damaged economically as well as physically. One of these countries was Germany. During the reconstruction of the country a large number of foreign laborers, also known as “Gastarbeiter”, came to Germany due to the shortage of a native workforce. After the economy stabilized Germany kept importing labor rather than taking industry, capital and jobs offshore in search of lower labor costs. Workers, especially from Turkey, Yugoslavia, Poland, Italy and Greece came with their families to seek work.

In 1914, a war began that would turn into one of the deadliest combats in all of human history. A war that was fought between two alliances named the Triple Entente, consisting of Russia, France and Great Britain, and the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. One of the reasons the war was so deadly was because many of the commanders and generals did not develop the tactics at the rate at which the weapons had progressed. Artillery and Machine Guns would decimate anyone who came over the edge of a trench, leading to millions of deaths. The old style of face-to-face trading fire combat had become obsolete due to the invention of the automatic and semi-automatic weapon. A single gun could now kill or injure

The first world war was one of the most brutal and remorseless events in history; ‘the global conflict that defined a century’. Over nine million soldiers and a large amount of innocent civilians lost their lives. Empires crumbled, revolution engulfed Russia and America rose to become a dominant world power. Huge armies deployed new weapons of devastating effect from rifles and pistols to torpedoes and flame throwers. These weapons were used not only in the trenches but by tanks too. This was an advantage to those who were able to access such machinery as they could easily launch bullets and missiles at nearby enemy bases. The downfall of the tank was the fact it was unable to cross the trenches. Tanks were not the only pieces of equipment that could access this machinery but U boats and planes too. The British carried ‘bolt action rifles’ in which fired 15 rounds per minute at a minimum range of 1,400 metres away. This allowed the British to take out foes at a far greater range. By using machinery in which rules out the need for getting up close to the enemy was a great advantage during world war one. Soldiers ran from trench to trench attacking with all that they had. This resulted in a massacre as the soldiers running toward the trenches were shot down. Machinery such as machine guns and heavy artillery were the weapons used in the trenches. In modern day society, machine guns are the main weapons used by soldiers. This wasn’t the case around the 1914s. They took four

Throughout the course of 100 years, Germany had a variety of ideologies and political leaders bought upon it. Varying from democracy to fascism, the political development of the country was experiencing vast amounts of ups and downs, like a rollercoaster with German people experiencing all the side effects of the ruling. However, the fact that individuals outside the government and leadership positions impacted German political development should also be counted. Such as the opposing public and the German citizens themselves are most definitely counted as individuals who has great influence on the German political development. Moreover, other factors had the control over the political progress, such as the economy, foreign affairs, culture

After World War II (1939-1945) the world was for the most part divided in three groups. The Neutral Nations, those who didn 't officially take a side. The Free Nations, which were the U.S., Great Britain, France, Canada, Australia and West Germany, just to name a few. The Communist controlled nations like Russia, China, Poland, Hungary, East Germany and others, formed the Communist Block Nations. That was when the Communists in the Soviet Union became more aggressive.

After the First World War, and the map of Europe is redrawn as several new countries start new, Germany sees a rebirth in their country too. In Germany, meanwhile, there is a very little appreciation of the

Along with every other nation around the globe, Germany has its own unique past. From the days previous to Bismarck to present time, the Germans have undergone significant trials and tribulations. Unfortunately for Germany the world will forever equate German history with Hitler and the Third Reich. As educated people, we need to be able to get past this stigma and appreciate the Germans for who they truly are. After the ending of the Second World War, Germany was divided in two: a free western Germany, and the communist East Germany. West Germany flourished while East Germany struggled to breathe under the heavy shadow of the Soviet Union. In 1990, after the Berlin Wall fell, Germany finally became one again with the union of East

Since the unification of Germany in the late 19th century, attitudes of nationalism, Prussian militarism and expansionism saturated German society. As one can clearly see in the

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

In the middle 19th century Germany was going through difficult changes. Germany was going through a change of leadership and a change in the economy during this time (“History of Germany”). Many great men and women decided to make the great journey to a new nation to make a name for themselves and their families.

In the relatively short one hundred and thirty three years that Germany has been a nation, its borders have grown, shrunk, and changed hands many times. While currently it is a rather stable nation that most likely finally has established itself for the foreseeable future, it looks nothing like it did those 133 years ago. Even less than twenty five years ago it was a totally different nation than it is today. Germany’s volatile borders of the past combined with its origins as a bunch of independent states being brought together under one flag has made it hard for Germany to truly be a unified nation. For being such a young nation it has been at the center of most of the world’s historical highlights,

Germany is Europe 's most industrialized and crowded nation. Renowned worldwide for its mechanical accomplishments, it has additionally delivered some of Europe 's most praised arrangers, logicians and artists. Germany is Europe 's leading economy and second supreme populated country (afterward Russia), Germany is a key member of the continents economic, political, and defense organizations. Accomplishing national solidarity later than other European countries, Germany rapidly got up to speed financially and militarily, before thrashings in World War I and II left the nation broke, confronting the troublesome legacy of Nazism, and partitioned between Europe 's Cold War alliances.

This research paper is based on this controversial question, “Was the reunification of Germany necessary?”. Germany was reunited almost a year after the fall of Berlin Wall, in 1990. It was a reunification between East Germany, or German Democratic Republic (GDR) and West Germany, formally called Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Germany was divided after the end of World War II in 1949. Moreover, Germany was divided because the Europeans wanted to moderate Germany’s power. This reunification of Germany have been viewed differently by East and West German citizens, the West German chancellor Helmut Kohl, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and the two historian, Arthur Ciechanowicz and Gert Wagner.
