In ancient times, tribes called Germans occupied the central and northern parts of Europe. One of the Germanic tribes was called the Franks. After the defeat of the Roman Empire, this people formed a government in the Gol region. The Franks establish the government of the Frankish Kingdom. Their most famous king was Charlemagne, who was able to add the northern part of Italy to his territory. After Charlemagne, the fight between his grandsons over the kingdom and the Carolingian dynasty is divided into three categories. The Germanic part arose from the eastern part of the Frankish territory. In 936, Otto I was enthroned in Rome by Pope John XII and started a new empire, becoming the first German emperor.

At the same time, Martin Luther created the Protestant religion and formed the Protestant Union in 1608.

This period in history, after the Roman Empire and before the Nazis (Third Reich) came to power, is called the Second Reich period. The German Empire continued until the November Revolution of 1918 and the formation of the Weimar Republic. The core of this empire was the North German Confederation. It was a federal empire with parliament and the cabinet was run by the chancellor (Bismarck).

The German revolution that took place from 1918 to 1919 is also called the November Revolution. On November 3, thousands of sailors protested, followed by workers and soldiers.

After the end World War II in 1945, the Allies divide Germany into several parts. In order to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Germany, the Berlin Wall is built. This wall became the main symbol of the Cold War and was nicknamed the Iron Curtain. Even though the border between West and East Germany was closed, the citizens of Berlin could still travel between the two Germanys. From 1975 to 1961, travel was generally prohibited and the borders were closed.
