Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in Central Europe. It is the second-most populous country in Europe after Russia, and the most populous member state of the European Union.

History

Foundation

During the aftermath of the defeat of Axis forces during the Second World War, Germany was divided into four zones occupied by the Soviet Union, USA, France and Great Britain. As cold war tensions started to erupt during the so-called Berlin "Blockade", territory occupied by the latter three was merged to form the Federal Republic.

Economy

Politics

Unlike the later formed DDR, the constitution was passed without ratification of citizens and a thorough denazification policy wasn't implemented.
