Germany is notorious for its involvement in World War I and II. The defeat of Germany in World War I left the country in crisis. Germany was asked to pay a heavy compensation to France and Britain. This devastated the country economically.
In addition to that, hyperinflation swept the nation; people were starving and the government was in utter chaos. The Nazis came to power in this vulnerable situation. They promised to make Germany great again under the leadership of Adolf Hitler.
Hitler’s effort to create a master race was catastrophic. He could not create a glorious Germany; it lost again in World War II. The country was divided into four zones, one each under the US, Britain, France and the Soviet Union respectively. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 which divided the country into East and West Germany. East Germany had communist rule while West Germany was backed by the US. The wall stood for thirty years and was finally demolished in 1990, reuniting East and West Germany.
