History of Germany: A Captivating Guide to German History, Starting from 1871 through the First World War, Weimar Republic, and World War

Did you know that Germany is a relatively new country? Its many different states only united in 1871, and it reunited after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

Germany is one of the richest and most influential countries in the world, which is amazing when you consider that the nation is only about the size of the US states of Oregon and Washington combined. It's even more astounding when you consider that at the end of World War II, every major German city (and many minor ones) had been flattened by the Allied bombing campaign. Still more amazing is that the country has gone from international pariah and home of the Holocaust to one of the most well-regarded and humanitarian nations on Earth.
