Germany

Being German means that you, or someone else, is from, or has ancestors from, the European country of Germany.

First and foremost it means being a citizen of Germany.

Near the Rhine River and coalfields of Western Germany is acluster of Cities, including Essen and Düsseldorf.They form Germany's largest industrial district, the Ruhr District. The Ruhr is a river which runs through the district and gives the district its name.

Lithuania was invaded by Germany and later the Nazi regime on 1941 June 22nd. This occupation lasted till Soviets diplomatically arranged new borders with the Germans.

German Federal Republic (Deutsche Bundesrepublik) - instead of Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) - was the name the East German government sometimes used during the Cold War for West Germany until c. 1970. Unless you are talking about terminology used at that time, it's best avoided.

After government consolidation of military assets/facilities, the number of military installations (USAF, USA, USN, USMC) was reduced to approximately 40. This number does not include the military installations located in the middle east regions (CENTCOM) or clandestine operating locations.

It's called Unification day. It's the day that East and West Germany were re-connected after the collapse of the Berlin wall. I guess that you can technically call it a German independence day.

With an elevation of 9,718 ft (2,962 metres) Zugspitze is the highest of the Bavarian Alps and the highest point in Germany.
The Zugspitze (a mountain in the Alps), at 2,962m above sea level.

i dont know but i want to because i have homework to do with it,

The role of a German citizen is to vote for government.

Some major cities in Germany are:

Berlin

Hamburg

Munich

Frankfurt am Main

Bremen

Nuremburg

Dresden

Mainz

Stuttgart

Düsseldorf

Dortmund

Essen

Cologne

Leipzig

Nowadays, German clothes look just like American clothes. All of the major American chains are represented in Germany. Jeans are normal. There are traditional German costumes, like leather shorts, but no one would wear something like that unless there was a town festival.

The number of Germans in the world is dependent on how the term "German" is defined.

It depends on whether "partial German ancestry" or only "single-ancestry ethnic Germans" are included. or only native speakers are meant.

The answer would be somewhere between 80 and 160 million worldwide.

Sometimes, people call it Schland, kind of like a contraction of DeutSCHLAND.

It's kind of stupid....

There are two competitors:

1. The Brandenburg Gate (Berlin)

2. Schloss Neuschwanstein (Bavaria

In Bavaria there are the Alps. 'Zugspitze' is the highest mountain in Germany, near the Austrian border.

Also in Bavaria, near Berchtesgarden and Hitler's Eagles Nest, there are incredible salt mines that can be visited. The natural parts include the salt, but you can slide down into the earth along giant wooden slides going down multiple stories. Also you can row across an underground salt water lake in a huge cavern.

In Saxony, there is a region called Saxon Switzerland with very interesting rock formations. You can be driving along regular roads and fields and suddenly there are huge rocks going down hundreds of feet leading to the river below.

In Baden-Wurtemburg, there are many natural springs. Any town with 'Baden' in the name likely was built because of the naturally occurring hot springs which are believed to provide medicinal benefits. Lots of spas located there now. 'Baden' literally means 'to bathe.'

There are many nature parks and forested areas in Germany also.

# The Brandenburg Gate. (This is iconic for Germany). # Cologne Cathedral.

A tie, probably, between the Berlin wall, which separated East and West Berlin for decades, and is the site of lots of political opposition in the form of wall-breaking and urban art, and Neuschwanstein castle, which is the iconic white and blue castle that inspired the Disney Castle, commissioned by Mad King Ludwig.

December 25th. Many open gifts on the night before.

I will try to answer this one... but history is complicated, so do not expect any easy answer, right?

So, Switzerland was founded in 1291 as coalition or defence agreement against the earls of Habsburg (you can call them Austrians what is mainly not that wrong - with links to Germany). This means Swiss troops (having their name and the flag from one of the founder states called Schwyz) and Habsburg were at war against each other... another important date was 1815, when the big nations in Europe forced Switzerland to become neutral after the Napoleon's age.

So now... the idea of the not-so-nice bigger brother Germany/Austria was still alive in 1939, when there was the rumour Germany would soon start a big war... the dealing of Swiss bankers with obscure rich Germans (probably with Jewish gold) or the deals between Swiss industry and Germany (and USA, etc.) were a bit later in time. On the first days Swiss government sent half a million of soldiers to guard the border and dressed up its new airforce (notably with french and especially German fighters - but bought one year earlier due to an international meeting). Switzerland had still the right of free speech and besides the BBC (England) on of the most famous free radio stations in Europe.

Due to the mentionned ambiguity Swiss citizens did never really consider an alliance with Germany - not because they knew already what Nazis were doing, but just because they did not like each other that much. And clashes between Swiss airforce and German luftwaffe (surprisingly nice for the Swiss) did of course not change the opinion. From this time until today Swiss bridges and tunnels are armed with dynamite to be blown up in the case of an invasion - and that was exactly what Germany intended to do at the time... or according to Hitler, when Germany would have beaten Russia... what never happened. So the war continued a far away from Switzerland - now including the Swiss bankers and industry's doing, but not changing Hitlers plans. Nevertheless Swiss would certainly have lost against German troops... it's a fact they were standing at the border... and nobody knows how much Germany would have had to pay for entering - especially as there was the somewhat crazy "reduced Switzerland" defence plan meaning a complete withdrawal of all troops into alpine area. The rest is unknown... Hitler was never able to "hunt the little pig when returning from Russia"...

Germany is a country on the continent of Europe, its capital city is Berlin. Germany has a population of about 82 million people.

They do have an elected President, but in practice the President doesn't have that much power. Everyday running of the government is done by the Chancellor, which is equivalent to a Prime Minister.

Potatoes, wheat, barley, rye, sugar beet, fruit, and vegetables are grown in Germany.

Spain is slightly smaller than France. Spain has 505,370 square kilometers while France has 643,370 square kilometers. France is the 40th largest country in the world while Spain is the 51st largest country.

Germany is the most important manufactured products exporter in Europe and in the World.

Chemical, car-building, mechanics are the three main industrial markets.

But there are a lot of efficient Medium-sized companies.

Germany exports machinery, vehicles, electric & electronic equipment, and plastics.

Christianity isn't observed as much as it was, prior to World War II. Today, few Lutherans or Roman Catholics attend church weekly. If you travel to Germany, you will be impressed if you go inside a cathedral or church and see most seats empty. There is a fear that if this trend continues, that many beautiful cathedrals especially, will be closed and be opened as museums.

They tend to have breakfast at 7-8am and lunch at 12-12.30pm. They eat their dinner at 6-7 pm.

Plane tickets have many different prices, depending upon where you are going and which airline you are using to get there.

An economy ticket from the UK to Boston (british airways), on economy, would cost more £2000, for a return ticket.
