Germany, At First it wasn't Your Fault.....

Germany’s history from the past has impacted its future greatly. In the beginning, we see a “fragmented Germany” until the reign of Napoleon in France where a sense of nationalism erupted.  One man was able to harness the power of nationalism and turn it into an abomination, which might not have happened if it wasn’t for the injustices imposed on Germany by the Allies of the First World War. The punishment Germany faced landed them in much debt which led to a crippling economy. People in a country with a bad economy lose faith in government; Hitler was able to regroup the people through nationalism. After Hitler’s demise, Germany once again had to pay reparation, but with the help of a generous American man. What Germany faces now is democracy. It has long since been under an autocratic rule, but it stands alone in the EU as the glue that keeps it together. Germany is the most stable country right now in the EU. It has come a long way from its beginnings.
