Germany is a big problem, right? Somehow the unofficial point person for the EU, Europe's largest economy by far, I didn't even realize what a heavyweight they were until I started fact-checking for this video, not to mention that she was at the center of two world wars. The strange thing is that unlike England and France, which have existed for what, a thousand years? Germany is younger than the United States; for most of history, Germany did not exist. There were Germans, but no Germany. The closest thing to it was the Holy Roman Empire, until Napoleon broke it and no one cared enough to rebuild it. The man who invented Germany, in some ways the spiritual successor of Frederick the Great, was not an ambitious king determined to conquer everything, nor an avant-garde revolutionary who found a way to ensure that all everyone agrees… he was a conservative politician. who initially wanted nothing to do with it.
