[edit] History
[edit] Formation of modern Germany
After the reign of Napoleon the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist and Germany was turned into a union of sovereign states in 1814.
In 1871 northern Germany (Prussia) was unified into a whole under the direction of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck during reign of Kaiser Wilhelm I.
[edit] WWI
Germany became entangled in World War I by supporting the Austro-Hungarian Empire against Serbia (who were backed by Imperial Russia.) Anti-German sentiment was high, and Germany received most of the blame for the war and was forced to adopt the Treaty of Versailles.
In 1918, the German Communist Party and the Spartacist League tried to overthrow the government of Kaiser Wilhelm II to establish a socialist government on German soil (similar to what the Bolsheviks had accomplished in Russia), but the revolution was put down by the Freikorps. However, the government was severely weakened, and Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated power in 1919 and went into exile in the Netherlands.
[edit] Weimar Republic
The emerging Weimar Republic was the first attempt at establishing a liberal democracy in Germany, but the fragile republic was plagued by rampant hyperinflation, threats of Communist revolution, and a cultural decadence not seen since the Roman Empire.
[edit] Third Reich and WWII
Adolf Hitler came to power democratically in 1933 under the National Socialist German Workers Party (ten years after a failed putsch attempt in the Weimar era.) The Third Reich collapsed after Hitler's death and Germany's invasion by the Red Army during World War II.
[edit] Post-War Era
After the end of the war, Germany was partitioned into Allied and Russian controlled sectors: the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) with West Berlin as an Allied enclave in the Eastern partition. De facto international control of both Western and Eastern affairs lasted until the reunification of the two countries on 3 October, 1990.
