	Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea, to the east by Poland and the Czech Republic, to the south by Austria and Switzerland, and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.
		Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, whose unexpectedly high demands were perceived as humiliating in Germany, as a continuation of the war by other means and a breaking of traditional post-war diplomacy that included negotiations between the victors and vanquished.
		Germany is located in Central Europe and shares borders with Denmark in the North, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France in the West, Austria and Switzerland in the South and Poland and the Czech Republic in the East.

	History of the German Democratic Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The division of Germany was made clear with the currency reform of 20th June 1948, which was limited to the western zones.
		Although détente offered East Germany the opportunity to overcome its isolation in foreign policy and to gain Western recognition as a sovereign state, the SED leader was reluctant to pursue a policy of rapprochement with West Germany.
		West Germany was East Germany's supplier of high-quality consumer goods, including luxury items, and the latter's citizens frequented both the Intershops, which sold goods for Western currency, and the Exquisit and Delikat shops, which sold imported goods for East German currency.

	History of West Germany (1949 - 1990) - Federal Republic of Germany, FRG, BRD
		West Germany was the informal name for the Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1990, during which years the Federal Republic did not yet include the territories of the German Democratic Republic, called "Middle Germany" in the West but known as "East Germany" outside Germany.
		West Germany became a focus of the Cold War with its juxtaposition to the GDR, a member of the subsequently founded Warsaw Pact.
		West Germany was to be permitted to rearm, and have full sovereign control of its military; the WEU would however regulate the size of the armed forces permitted to each of its member states.

		West Germany was allied with the United States of America, the UK and France.
		Germany's partners in the Coal and Steel Community decided to establish a European Defence Commuity (EDC), with an integrated army, navy and air force, composed of the armed forces of its member states.
		The West German military would be subject to complete EDC control, but the other EDC member states (Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands) would cooperate in the EDC while maintaining independent control of their own armed forces.

	History of Germany, The Social Democratic-Free Democratic Coalition
		West Germany's relations with the East European states had virtually stagnated since the establishment of the Hallstein Doctrine in the mid-1950s.
		Soviet officials, however, insisted that West Berlin was not to be considered a territory belonging to the FRG and therefore was not to be governed by it.
		Most West Germans saw the Soviet Union as responsible for the escalation of the arms race by their deployment of the SS-20 and, in addition, mistrusted the Soviet Union's apparently keen interest in the peace movement in Western Europe.

	H-Net Review: Michael L. Hughes on Protest Movements in 1960s West Germany: A Social History of Dissent and Democracy
		West Germany had not made proper provision for the myriad of students who wished, by the 1960s, to study at university.
		Yet West Berlin's atypicality means historians will have to find a way to assess the scope and nature of protest in other West German cities before we can have an adequate understanding of the full range of protest in West Germany.
		The greatest gap in Thomas's book is his failure to address concretely how West Germany got from the vicious attacks on protest movements and demonstrations in the 1950s and 1960s to the political culture(s) of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s that accepted protest and demonstrations as a central part of democratic politics.

	Sample Chapter for Schissler, H., ed.: The Miracle Years: A Cultural History of West Germany, 1949-1968.
		Currently, historians in Germany are preoccupied with the questions of what the two German dictatorships, the Nazi and the Communist past, might have in common and what consequences should be drawn from the legacies of those "two German pasts." This debate is thoroughly overdetermined by West German intellectual paradigms.
		While the intellectual detachment in the writing of history that was the ideal of previous generations of historians no longer is an agreed-upon norm, "the present as history" nevertheless raises particular issues that might not play a role when we research historical times that lie further back.
		Section four deals with West Germany's modernity, the emergence of a consumer society, the project of "normalizing" relations between women and men in a modern industrialized society, the opposition to rearmament and nuclear weapons, and the emergence of a civil society in West Germany.

	History of Germany, West Germany and the Community of Nations
		The figure who dominated West Germany's politics in its first two decades was Konrad Adenauer, a politician totally committed to restoring his country to an honored place among nations.
		Germany's economic growth during the first decades after the war at times overshadowed its marked success at joining the international community.
		West Germany's economy functioned very well for several decades, and the country became one of the world's wealthiest.

		Stereotypical descriptions showcase West Germany as an "economic miracle" or cast it in the narrow terms of Cold War politics.
		That history is told here by leading scholars of German history, literature, and film in what is destined to become the volume on postwar West German culture and society.
		We see how two generations of West Germans came to terms not only with war guilt, division from East Germany, and the Angst of nuclear threat, but also with changing gender relations, the Americanization of popular culture, and the rise of conspicuous consumption.

		Although the arrival of the Lance missile system and the resultant activation of the 202nd MP Co. in Europe occurred relatively late in the Cold War, there was no lack of either mission or purpose.
		During its assignment in Giessen, the 202nd MP Co. was partnered with the 1st Fernmeld Battalion 320 in Frankenberg (a West German Army Unit or the Bundeswehr).
		During the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the 202nd MP Co. was involved in the standard military police operations of patrolling off post housing, the Rock, Depot, and checking out the night clubs during the weekends.

		It was the interventions, attempts at destabilization, currency reform, currency smuggling, bribing of technical workers to go West, all leading to an enormous "brain drain," - the general economic warfare byy the far superior military and economic Western powers, that made the building of the Wall necessary in the first place.
		Not only was West Germany twice the size of East Germany, but its patron the United States emerged from the Second World War immensely more powerful than it had been before the start of the war.
		But this is Germany, most Germans don't care, the Left has been severely decimated and has little voice, and I think the Jews, which were almost totally exterminated in Germany, today as a tiny minority tries hard not to upset their German countrymen.

		But after that single flirtation with success, they were beaten by both West Germany and Italy who consequently advanced to the semi-final.

		The Holocaust is considered a singularly atrocious event in human history, and many people have studied its causes.
		Yet few questions have been asked about the ways in which West Germans have "forgotten," unlearned, or reconstructed the racial beliefs at the core of the Nazi state in order to build a democratic society.
		During a time when American occupation authorities insisted on remembrance and redress for the Holocaust, the Wild West emerged as a displaced theater of the racial imagination, where the roles of victim, avenger, and perpetrator of genocide were reassigned.

		We in the West stand ready to cooperate with the East to promote true openness, to break down barriers that separate people, to create a safe, freer world.
