History
Germany started out as a group of tribes in a place called Germania. This name was given to the area by the Roman Empire.

These tribes developed and became principalities in the Holy Roman Empire and they struggled to all cooperate together for a long time until 1871, when they all finally came together to create the German Empire. That lasted for a bit and became a good sized colonial power until 1914 when World War One broke out and the Empire then sided with the Central Powers. It was here where they lost and Germany broke in pieces once again, both economically and politically. Soon came Nazi Germany and he had secret evil ambitions. After some peace but not much economic prosper during that time, he developed evil plans and invaded Poland (and Czechoslovakia just before), which started World War 2 in 1939. Just one wasn't enough, and Nazi Germany wanted to take over the world, get rid of both communism and capitalism, kill his enemies in the process, and replace it with fascism.

Nazi Germany had a great start but ultimately forgot he was facing the British Air Force, French Resistance, and a lot of double agents (that originally worked for Nazi Germany but many got caught and turned against Nazi Germany instead). His enemies cracked the German Enigma code, then he had to deal with another war on the African Front and a strong Russian winter, and he was soon was overwhelmed by the Allies in 1945.

After this Germany became the child of a divorced couple; being the USA and the USSR. Germany was split and became East and West Germany.

They both wanted to reunite, but USSR wouldn't let them live a happy life as one capitalist country.

It was this way for a while before USSR along with several others finally allowed everyone to be free and Germany re-unified in 1990. So far Germany hasn't had any big problems except for recently Article 13 (and he can no longer make his German memes).
