	Press Availability With German Chancellor Angela Merkel
		The German foreign policy is a policy that serves the interests of the German people and, in so doing, it basically serves on two pillars, one of which is a European unity and the other is a close transatlantic partnership.
		CHANCELLOR MERKEL: (Via Interpreter) First, I was very grateful and I am very grateful for the American Secretary of State, that she has reiterated that America stands by its international commitments, that it stands by its rejection of torture and that it adheres to the laws of the United States of America.
		CHANCELLOR MERKEL: I think that the statement, the information that the American Secretary of State provided yesterday, the statement that she made to the press before she left for Germany yesterday and the information she provided me with here today, is good information, valuable information for the German people.

	Chancellor of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Archbishop of Mainz was German Chancellor until the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 while the Archbishop of Cologne was Chancellor of Italy and the Archbishop of Trier of Burgundy.
		The chancellor's authority emanates from the provisions of the Basic Law and from his or her status as leader of the party (or coalition of parties) holding a majority of seats in the Bundestag (federal parliament).
		This was the case with Chancellor Gerhard Schröder from 1999 until he resigned the chairmanship of the SPD in 2004.

	The Chancellor of Germany - German Government and Politics
		For that reason, some observers refer to the German political system as a "chancellor democracy." The chancellor's authority emanates from the provisions of the Basic Law and from his or her status as leader of the party or coalition of parties holding a majority of seats in the Bundestag.
		The constructive no-confidence vote makes it harder to remove a chancellor because opponents of the chancellor not only must disagree with his or her governing but also must agree on a replacement.
		Although not commonly used, this procedure enables the chancellor to gauge support in the Bundestag for the government and to increase pressure on the Bundestag to vote in favor of legislation that the government considers as critical.

	People's Daily Online -- German Chancellor stands firm abroad, loses ground at home
		German Chancellor Angela Merkel has cut a convincing figure on the international arena after one year in office but her so-called "grand coalition" government seems to have been losing steam at home despite a finally picking-up economy and lower unemployment.
		The chancellor was most credited by her success to patch up German ties with the United States which were gravely strained after Schroeder vigorously opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
		The chancellor sent German troops to monitor the first elections in four decades in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and for the first time, to the Middle East, where German ships are patrolling the coast of Lebanon as part of UN peace-keeping force.

	Hitler's Rise to Power
		Hitler's rise to power was based upon long-term factors - resentment in the German people, the weakness of the Weimar system - which he exploited through propaganda (paid for by his rich, Communist-fearing backers), the terror of his stormtroopers, and the brilliance of his speeches.
		The story of why Hitler came to power is about the reasons why the German people lost their senses and allowed a vicious madman to come to power.
		Nazi propaganda persuaded the German masses to believe that the Jews were to blame and that Hitler was their last hope.
