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.
No, West Berlin was a separate political entity to and NOT part of West Germany as a result of its special status following the Second World War and as confirmed in the Quadripartite Agreement of 3 September 1971.
The occupation of most of Germany ended in 1949 with the declaration of the Federal Republic of Germany (23 May 1949) and the German Democratic Republic (7 October 1949). Due, however, to its particular status, the occupation of Berlin could only be ended by a quadripartite agreement, therefore Berlin remained an occupied territory under the formal sovereignty of the allies. As a result of this, the Grundgesetz (Basic Law, the constitution of the Federal Republic) was not applicable to West Berlin. In addition, West German federal law did not apply to West Berlin. As a result, the West Berlin legislature, dasAbgeordnetenhaus von Berlin would simply vote in every new federal law without debate to maintain legal status with West Germany.
As the Western Allies remained the ultimate political authorities in West Berlin, all legislation of the "Abgeordnetenhaus", both domestic law and the adopted federal law, only applied under the proviso of the confirmation by the three Western Allied commanders-in-chief. If they approved a bill, it was enacted as part of West Berlin's statutory law. If the commanders-in-chief rejected a bill, it did not become law in West Berlin. One such law was the law on conscription to the German military, which as a result of its rejection by the allies, West Berlin males were exempt from.
West Berlin was run by the elected Governing Mayor(Regierender Bürgermeister) and the Senate of Berlin (city government). Both the Governing Mayor and Senators (ministers) had to be approved by the Western Allies and thus ultimately derived their authority from the occupying forces, not from their electoral mandate.
West Berlin politicians took part as observers only in sessions of the Bundestag and Bundesrat and had no right to vote in parliamentary decisions, although they did have full voting rights in the Bundesversammlung, which elected the German president.
West Berlin was, however, represented internationally by West Germany.
West German legal opinion did not share the Western powers' legal interpretation of West Berlin's status and the Bundesverfassungsgerricht (Federal Constitutional Court)ruled:
"Das Grundgesetz gilt grundsätzlich auch in Berlin; Berlin ist trotz des Vorbehalts der Besatzungsmächte ein Land der Bundesrepublik Deutschland."
"The Basic Law also applies fundamentally in Berlin. Berlin is despite the reservations/restrictions of the occupying powers a state of the Federal Republic of Germany."
The goals of the Quadripartite Agreement were:
- Continuation of the authority of the four-power authority for Berlin
- Long-term guarantees for West Berlin
- Guaranteed routes to and from West Berlin
- Improvements for the inhabitants of West Berlin
The Agreement specifically adressed:
- Responsibilities and rights of the four powers in Berlin
- Change in the status of Berlin only possible with the agreement of all four powers
- Soviet guarantee to maintain supply routes
- Confirmation of the special relationship between West Berlin and West Germany but NOT as a political entity of West Germany.

Why did luther appeal to the princes?
Luther to the faith to the people, being against the bloated powerhouse that was then the church, telling everyone what, when, how, where and who. The church believed the peasants were too ignorant to decide for themselves and so told them what to believe. Luther believed in personal faith.
Luther made the Bible available to them in a language they could understand, as the Catholic church kept the Word of God in Latin which was the language of the educated only. Also, through the selling of indulgences, the poor were exploited by the Catholic church, and Luther sought to liberate them from this.
Write a one page history of Germany as a schoolchild in Nazi Germany?
This is a set of directions and a statement . I suspect it is a history assignment and your teacher is trying to find out from you how well you understand what happened. If you would like some help or clues to help you with this we will help you, but we won't write it for you. A teacher gives an assignment like this to check for your understanding of the history/topic. I did this often instead of a test and in what a student wrote told me they understood what I taught.

Poland didn't surrender in World War 2, they were defeated and occupied by German and Soviet forces by 6th of October 1939.

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.

Reasons why the Nazis attracted little support during the 1920s?
There is a tendency, especially in popular history in the U.S. and Western Europe, to assume that throughout the Weimar period Germany was seething with nationalist discontent and straining at the leash to fight World War 1 again. This caricature is very misleading. In the 1920s the new republic did, on balance, enjoy support - though often of a passive kind. It was only when Germany was hit by the effects of the Great Depression (late 1929 onwards) that the country started to seethe. The main grievance for most voters wasn't Versailles, but the economy. Hitler succeeded in presenting himself as a man with mission ...
How did propaganda help Hitler become chancellor?
Hitler used a variety of different methods of Propaganda in order to gain support for both himself and the Nazi Party. He used propaganda and censorship to 'brain wash' German people into thinking that the Aryan race and the Nazi Regime was the best possible way of life. It is arguable that his use of propaganda has been unparalleled throughout History, as he managed to convince millions of people that his actions were justifiable through posters, radio, books, art, television, textbooks, newspapers etc. The whole of life in the Nazi regime was censored, and this made people think that the only way forward was to support Hitler.
