What were the Germans before they became known as the Germans?

Up until the tenth century, the Germans were a loose knit group of tribes. Over time they began to form nations. Eventually the people who lived in these nations began to call themselves Germans. The real unification of the Germans took place when Luther published the German Bible in 1534 but this was a unity through language rather than culture. The country of Germany was established in its present form when Otto von Bismarck led the move to unification in 1871.

Short answer: They were tribes of people who shared the same culture.

What was Germanys battleship called?

It was the BISMARCK battleship, which sank Britain's HOOD in 1941 and was sunk itself a few days later in the Atlantic Ocean close to Brest, France.

NO it wasn't. It was the Tirpitz which hid in a Norwegian fjord and was bombed and sunk Tirpitz was 2 metres longer overall and 1200 tons heavier (basic displacement) Tirpitz never fought and so most people think the Bismarck was larger, it was only a similar ship. The Bismarck and Tirpitz were sisterships, but the Tirpitz was a bit larger. Bismarck inflicted severe damage on the British battleship Prince of Wales at the Battle of Denmark Strait, but it was probably the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen which sank the British battle cruiser Hood. The Tirpitz did venture into the Atlantic, but without the success of other German warships.

What is the inflation rate in Germany?

Due to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany had to pay reparations to France, Belgium and Britain (£6.6 billion). The reparations were due to start in 1921. French and Belgium troops invaded the Ruhr in response to the German Government failure to pay the reparations they owed. Germans workers were then forces to go on strike in the Ruhr but continued to get paid. The German Government printed more money to pay the German workers and to pay the reparations they owed the other countries. Then the workers on strike got more money that they could buy things from the shop. As they spent more money in shops they shop keepers put their prices up. The German Government carried on printing money so the shopkeepers raised their prices again. Then prices were inflating do fast that it was known as hyperinflation. By November 1923 a loaf of bread cost around 20 million marks.
