What five problems facing Germany?

Germany faced 5 major problems after WW1. Firstly there was the "stab in the back theory" that the German government told the public they were doing great in the war when they weren't. Next there was the Treaty of Versailles where the Germans lost 13% of land lost a lot of its armies, pay £6600 million reparations (compensation for the war) and the last part of the treaty that the Germans hated the most was blame for the war. Next there was political uprisings such as the Kapp and Munich Putsch which was opposition against the government. Next there was an invasion of the Ruhr (Germanys industrial area) by France and Berlin because the Germans couldn't pay the reparations for the war. This led to the government printing more money and this caused the last problem of hyperinflation where the German mark was worthless because the price of everything went up drastically.

National food dishes in Germany?

There isn't such a thing as a national food. this is because Germany has only been a country since the 1871s, when it unified. Before that it consisted of many different and separate states. So, the regions still have their own cultures and regional foods.

The traditional German cuisine is very multifaceted. Every region has it's own delicacies. A lot of people seem to associate things like sauerkraut, sauerbraten, spaetzle, etc. with Germany, but in fact you will find these dishes especially in the south of Germany (Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg). In the North for instance they rather eat fish, in the eastern regions there are Prussian influences and so on.

But in common Germans eat a lot of meat, "Mett" or "Hackfleisch" (ground pork) is very popular, there are also various sorts of "Wurst" (products made of meat that you can put on bread). Also cheese is popular, there are a lot of different sorts too. At German parties you will mostly find cold or hot buffet, with different dishes of meat, salads, bread, cheese and dessert. Often there is also a hot soup such as "Hochzeitssuppe" (translated it`s "wedding soup", it's including noodles, meat, vegetables and "Eierstich" = little cubes made of eggs), potato soup, creamy soups, etc. Salads of potatos, noodles or rice are also very common. There are also lamination cakes and jarrads. The really traditional "Hausmannskost" (plain fare) is very solid and rich and will probably cause you a heart attack nowadays, but the people in former times were hard working farmers or miners and it's said that they needed that kind of food.

There are also a lot of vegetarians who often dislike the traditional German cuisine because of all the meat (even some sauces include meat extracts). Germans also like cake and torte, there are a lot of recipes.

Was the Munich agreement a triumph or sell out?

It was a big success for Germany, no doubt about. But for no one else.

Czechoslovakia was the last country east of Germany with fully democratic government (despite inside problems with pro-nazi Slovakia and Czech Germans, no nazi party was ever elected) and many of political fugitives used it like last help. It was only logical that Hitler needier to broke his last direct opponent at that time.

Of course the next biggest reason why it was such a big success for him, was the Czech army equipment. Czechoslovakia was the richest post-Austria-Hungary country and it was well prepared for war. If the Germany would go with Czechs "one against one", the result would not be predictive. But when England and France chose the Germany side (that's the Munich agreement), Czechs had to give up and let the Germans take one third of Bohemia and Moravia (Czech lands). Than Slovakia voluntarily joined Germany. Not even a year later Hitler took the rest of Czech country (with which he broke Munich agreement).

In that moment had Hitler two armies and could attack Europe. And so the second World War stated.

What does Germanys emblem look like?

The German flag is made up of three horizontal bands of black, red and gold. It is based on the colours of the Lützow Free Corps, formed during the German war of Liberation against Napoleon in 1813. The Corps was made up mainly of students.

Black, red and gold were furthermore established as the national colours of Germany between 1815 and 1866, when they were picked for the national flag by The German Federation.

On 18 May 1848 representatives entered the first German national paliament in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt and on 13 November 1848 black red and gold were declared to be the colours of the national flag in the Reichsgesetzblatt (Reich Law Gazette). The German Federation failed due to German Princes' refusal to give up power and the attempts of Prussia, the largest German kingdom to direct German unification to suit its own interests. As a result Prussia founded the Norddeutsher Bund (North German Federation) in 1867, with a black, white and red flag.

Following the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, Prussia seized the moment and riding high on a wave of German patriotism, proclaimed the German Empire from the Mirror Hall at Versailles, with the king of Prussia as kaiser. With this the black, red and gold flag was confined (for the meantime) to history in favour of the black, white and red of the North German Federation.

With the defeat of Germany at the end of the First World War and the abolition of the Reich, Germany again assumed the black, red and gold as its national colours.

When the Nazis seized power in 1933, the old red, white and black flag of the Empire was reinstated alongside Nazi flags as it had the same colours as the Nazi flag. Hitler, who had designed the Nazi flag, described it thus: Red symbolises the "social concept" of the movement, white symbolises nationalism and the purity of the Arian race and the black Swastika symbolises "the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Arian race" over world jewery.

Following the defeat of Nazi-Germany in 1945, the Allies banned all previous national flags and German ships were forced to sail under the international signal flag for the letter C( C for Capitulation), which was made up of the colours red, white and blue, which just happened to be the national colours of the four Allied powers. In 1949, after a long debate, during which several new designs were proposed, the decision was made in West Germany to reinstate the black, red and gold of the Weimar Republic. The reason for this was to demonstrate a legal continuity between the Weimar Republic and the new Federal Republic.

In 1948, communist East Germany had decided to opt for a black, white and red flag but changed this in 1949 to the same black, red and gold flag as used by West Germany. In 1959 East Germany added its state emblem, a garland of corn with hammer and compass, to the centre of its flag. In Berlin and West Germany it became known as the "splitter flag" and until the end of the 60s it was a breach of the (West German) constitution and a public order offence to display the East German flag (in West Germany) and the police took steps to prevent it.

How deos Germany celebrate Thanksgiving?

The German tradition of Thanksgiving is completely different from the American Thanksgiving.

Germans celebrate Harvest Thanksgiving, a day of thanksgiving to God for a plentiful harvest. On the first Sunday of October (in most locations), visitors to German churches will find a plethora of fruits, vegetables, sheaves of grain, and also baked goods, as decorations around the altars. Visitors to market places and fairgrounds will oftentimes find Erntedankfest(literally: harvest gratitude festival) dances, displays, booths, a special Erntefeuer (harvest fire), and other festivities to celebrate this occasion. This tradition is continued in other parts of the world within the Lutheran Church which originated in Germany.

In the regions where wine grapes are grown, Winzer (vintners) will present their new wines and allow for a public wine-tasting. A Bauernmarkt (farmers' market) will allow visitors to purchase the freshest produce available, while the more immediate culinary needs are attended to in a Festzelt (party tent), where it is save to assume that some of the famous German beer will be available.
