The east of Germany however, has no natural border which has caused much confusion in the history of Europe. It is a sovereign state and has a federal parliamentary republic in the central-western Europe. The largest city and the capital of Germany is Berlin. Germany is also the second most famous human immigration destination after the United States. The northern parts of Germany have been occupied by the Germanic tribes since the ancient times. A certain region called Germania was recognized to be from before AD 100. At the times of migration the Germanic tribes expanded towards the southern parts of Germany. In the advent of the 10th century the central territories of Germany had formed the Holy Roman Empire. Six centuries later the northern parts of Germany became the hub of the Protestant Reformation. Later in the year 1871 many of the German states united with the Prussians to form the German Empire. It was only after the World War I and the German Revolution which took place from 1918-1919 that the German Empire was succeeded by the Weimar Republic. The institution of a dictatorship in the year 1933 was one of the causes of World War II and organized massacre. After a term of Allied occupation, two states, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, were founded. It was only in the year 1990 that the country was reunited. Germany is a great power today, and has the world's fourth largest economy. It is a global leader in various technological and industrial sectors along with being the world's third largest importer and exporter of goods. Today Germany has a high standard of living and is known to be a developed country with a productive and skilled society. Contact: [email protected]
