HISTORY: Before, many Germanic States were independent. But, on January 18, 1871, these Germanic states unified under Prussia, to form Germany. Since then, Germany saw a rapid growth in it's military power and economy. The nation was soon devastated, though, after "The Great War" (World War 1). The Germans also lost a lot of land to new nations like Poland, Czechoslovakia, and a strip of land to France. This soon led to the Germans being upset, which ended up having Hitler gain support of the people, and take over as Fuhrer in 1933, leading a group called the "Nazis". Hitler's aggressive behavior soon started World War 2, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. With their ally, Italy, Germany soon took over most of Europe, leaving out the U.S.S.R., Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey, and Switzerland. But, when their Asian Ally, Japan, bombed Pearl Harbor, and when Germany invaded the U.S.S.R., it caused the U.S.A. to declare war on Japan and Germany, and the U.S.S.R. to also declare war on Germany. This soon led to their defeat in 1945, and were split up into Communist East, and Capitalist West Germany. They weren't reunited until 1990, and have since become Europe's largest Economy, and second most populous nation.
