Central European nation of Germany is known by its official name, the Federal Republic of Germany. The most populous member state of the European Union, it is the second most populous country in Europe after Russia. The Alps are to the south and the Baltic and North seas to the north of Germany, which has a population of around 84 million people living in its 16 member states and an area of 357,022 square kilometers (137,847 sq mi). Germany shares boundaries with the Czech Republic and Poland to the east, Austria and Switzerland to the south, and the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, and Belgium to the west. Its northern boundary is Denmark.
The most populous and capital city of the country is Berlin, while Frankfurt serves as its financial hub. The Ruhr is the country’s largest metropolitan area. Since classical antiquity, a number of Germanic tribes have lived in the northern regions of modern-day Germany. Germania was a region that existed before the year 100 AD. The majority of the Holy Roman Empire was composed of the Kingdom of Germany in 962. The Protestant Reformation was centered in northern German regions in the sixteenth century. The German Confederation was established in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars and the fall of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806.
The North German Confederation Treaty, which established the Prussia-led North German Confederation, which eventually became the German Empire in 1871, marked the beginning of Germany’s formal unification into the modern nation-state on August 18, 1866. The German Revolution of 1918–1919 and World War I led to the fall of the Empire and the creation of the semi-presidential Weimar Republic. The Holocaust, World War II, and the development of an authoritarian dictatorship were all caused by the Nazi takeover of power in 1933.
The Federal Republic of Germany, also known as West Germany, and the German Democratic Republic, also known as East Germany, were established as distinct polities with limited sovereign authority in 1949 following the end of World War II in Europe and a period of Allied occupation. Berlin, however, retained its status as one of the Four Powers de jure. The German Democratic Republic was an Eastern Bloc communist state and a founder member of the Warsaw Pact, whereas the Federal Republic of Germany was a founding member of the European Economic Community and the European Union.
On October 3, 1990, the former East German states became a federal parliamentary republic and joined the Federal Republic of Germany following the fall of communism. It ranks third in the world for both imports and exports, and it is a major force in the fields of science, technology, and industry. Situated at the ninth position on the Human Development Index, this highly developed nation provides social security, universal health care, environmental protections, free university education, and is recognized as the sixteenth most tranquil country globally.
