In what year did the Germans first arrive?

The Germans did not arrive all at once in a single year. Germanic tribes began migrating into the region of modern-day Germany as early as the 2nd century BC, and continued to settle and establish various kingdoms over the centuries. The formation of what we now know as Germany as a unified nation state occurred in 1871.

When do Germans wear dirndls?

most never wear dirndls. The only place they are really worn is in Bavaria, but only occasionally. The other parts of Germany don't really ever wear dirndls or Lederhosen except for the Oktoberfest where everyone wears dirndls, but thats only once a year and not ALL germans go. So its not like Germans wear dirndls/lederhosen when they go out or anything :) Hope this helped


How many years do Germans attend school for?

Why is October third a significant date to Germans?

The October 3rd is very important for us Germans because it is the official day of the German Reunification on October 3rd 1990. That is the day when the two German countries West and East Germany were reunificated again to one unit state after the division during the cold war from 1945 to 1990.The Octoberfest is starting in late September and lasts only until the early days of October. It is originally a remembering of the wedding of the Bavarian Crownprince Ludwig with princess Theresia in the year 1810. That´s also the reason why the field where the Octoberfest happens is called "Theresienwiese" ("Meadow of Theresia").

What year did the Germans take vimy ridge?

1914 but the allies won it back in 1917.


What year was the battle of vimy ridge fought?

Vimy Ridge was a subsidiary action of the larger Battle of Arras during World War One. Fought from April 9 to 12, 1917, it consisted of an offensive by the Canadian Corps (with significant support by the British 5th Infantry Division and supplementing British artillery and engineers) against elements of the German Sixth Army.


Who participated in the battle of Vimy Ridge?

First of all, Vimy Ridge was just one of many BATTLES, that took place during The First World WAR. A Battle lasts for a few hours or days, a WAR lasts for years. The First World War lasted for 4 years, from 1914 to 1918, which was about 90 years ago. The second thing that you have wrong is WOMEN. There were NO WOMEN involved in the fighting at VIMY RIDGE. NONE. All of the soldiers in that war were MEN. Women had a MINOR role far behind the trench lines as nurses in field hospitals. They helped to care for the wounded men and assisted the Doctors in the operating rooms. They did NOT carry or use weapons at all. The attack on VIMY RIDGE was a 100 percent Canadian event. Previously, both the British and the French armies had been defeated in their attempts to take the ridge from the Germans. The Canadians spent 3 months rehearsing the attack and every man had his own job to do, on a time schedule. This was the first time that such planning had been applied to an attack in this war. The attack began on Monday April the 9th of 1917, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Four divisions of Canadians, totaling one hundred thousand men got up out of their trenches, and started to walk towards the ridge, following their artillery barrage. It took less than half a day to beat back the Germans and to hold the entire ridge. This was a major victory for the Canadian army and it was the first time that the entire Canadian Corps had fought as one complete unit. The victory was not cheap, it cost over 7,000 Canadian dead and a further 12,000 wounded. The War went on for another full year and a half, until in November of 1918 the Germans were finally defeated and they signed a surrender agreement. Because of the great victory at VIMY RIDGE, Canada was one of the victorious nations who shared in the celebrations at the end of the war. Canada was now considered, by the rest of the nations of the world, to be a full and separate country of its own, no longer a colony of Britain, no longer having to ask for permission to do things, from Britain. Canada earned that right thru it's bloodshed and bravery in the First World War, and the greatest Canadian victory, and there were many of them, was at VIMY RIDGE, in France. Two hundred acres of French land at VIMY RIDGE is now the site of the VIMY memorial. This land was given to Canada, by the French Government to show their appreciation for the Canadians part in defeating the Germans. A huge set of statues and a memorial wall stands to honour the men who died there.

What year did trench warfare begin?

Trench Warfare began in 1914 when world war one began. It was big in major battles that Canadian's fought in such as Ypres, Somme, Vimey Ridge, and Paschendale.It was big in Vimy Ridge because the German's were mounted on a ridge and the British troops were down below, so they dug tunnels and trenches to avoid being seen.

Why is the vimy ridge battle important?

Canada was automatically at war because she was still under Britain's control. However Canadas contributions into WWI led to some international recognition, which is a huge part of becoming sovereign; other countries must recognize you as sovereign. The Battle at Vimy ridge was the greates assertation in Canadian sovereignty in WWI. Even tho she was under british rule, ultimately, Canadian troups planned, rehearsed, followed through, and defeated the Germans at Vimy ridge under the command of Canadian officers and officials. Hope this helps. Send me a note if it does.AnswerCanada's role in the Battle of Vimy Ridge earned Canada a reputation as formidable and effective. The Canadian victory over Vimy Ridge became a defining moment for Canada and the country now had a possability to escape from the shadows of Britain. Although the victory came with a great cost, with more than 10,000 killed and wounded, it helped prove Canada in front of other world countries.The ridge, running almost 12 kilometers north-east of Arras, was occupied by the Germans in the year of 1914. Five major battles took place in Arras in World War One, the reason being that Arras had an important railroad junction and if the Germans controlled it, it could easily use the railroad to support her troops. If the allies controlled the railroad, they could support their own men. Germans had constructed a group of artillery-proof trenches which were protected from infantry attack by concrete Machine Gun Posts.The reason for Vimy Ridge's importance was that it rose 61 metres above the Douai Plain, therefore giving its army the advantage of seeing clearly across the horizon. This would allow the army to spot any attackers and attack them easily without being slaughtered. These advantages sparked the attention of both the French and the British.The French saw it as an important part of their country because it protected occupied France where mines and factories were in full production of Germany. At the end of September of the year of 1914, the French and the Germans met in a fierce head-on attack North of Arras.Later in the year of 1915, after about a month of fighting, which cost them more than 100,000 lives, the French reclaimed some land some of which was Notre-Dame de Lorette Ridge and the villages of Souchez. During the remainder of 1916 and into 1917, the fighting went underground and mining warfare became a threat for both sides.In 1917, the British attacked on a front from Croisilles, south of Arras, to Givenchy. Here, the Canadians were given the responsability of protecting the Northern flank of the British attack from where the trenches crossed. The British attacked Arras while the British attacked Vimy Ridge.On the morning of Easter Monday on the 9th of April of the year of 1917, the Canadians, who had composed a four division attack, they began following a British artillery barrage which was supported by a well hidden creeping barrage. Within thirty minutes of the first division, commander Arthur Currie helped his army succeed in capturing the German front line. Within a half hour, the second line passed into Canadian hands. On April 12, when Hill 145 fell, Vimy Ridge was won over by Canadian troops. The whole plan was entirely devised by Canada and was independent of British thoughts.The success in the capture of the ridge earned Canada a reputation of great strength and accomplishment. It was also the first time that Canada had ever planned its own attack without British help. It was the first step towards its independence and sovereignty.
