Germany

Germany, a unified country from 1871 to 1945, was divided after World War II into two states: the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). In 1990, following the collapse of the East German Communist regime, East Germany voted for unification with the Federal Republic. Located in Central Europe, unified Germany is bordered on the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; on the east by Poland and the Czech Republic; on the south by Austria and Switzerland; and on the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
