Two captivating manuscripts in one book:

  • History of Germany: A Captivating Guide to German History, Starting from 1871 through the First World War, Weimar Republic, and World War II to the Present
  • Germania: A Captivating Guide to the History of a Region in Europe Where Germanic Tribes Dominated and How It Transformed into Germany
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.

Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include:

  • The intrigue and wars of the famous Iron Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and how his political maneuverings united the German states into one
  • The bizarre upbringing and strident personality of Kaiser Wilhelm II
  • The rise of Germany to world power between 1871 and 1914
  • The reasons for Germany entering World War One
  • The German experience of World War One and its startling defeat
  • The Versailles Treaty and why it was hated by most Germans
  • The horrible hyperinflation of the early 1920s when the German government printed 100-billion mark notes that were worthless
  • Anti-Semitism in Germany and Europe
  • The wild culture of Weimar Berlin
  • The rise of Hitler and why it happened
  • Hitler's Germany and WWII
  • The post-war division of Germany
  • The Berlin Wall
  • The reunification of Germany in 1989 and more
