The history of Germany did not begin with a single kingdom, a single border, or even a people who thought of themselves as German.
In this complete history of Germany, we travel from the early Germanic tribes and Rome’s frontier along the Rhine to Charlemagne, the rise of the Holy Roman Empire, Martin Luther and the Reformation, and the devastation of the Thirty Years’ War.
From there, the story moves through the rivalry between Austria and Prussia, the upheaval of the Napoleonic era, the revolutions of 1848, and Bismarck’s creation of the German Empire.
We then follow Germany through industrialization and imperial ambition, the First World War, the fall of the Kaiser, the fragile democracy of the Weimar Republic, the rise of Nazi dictatorship, the Second World War, and the destruction that followed.
But Germany’s story did not end in 1945.
The final chapters explore occupation, the creation of East and West Germany, the Cold War, the Berlin Wall, life on both sides of a divided country, the fall of the Wall, reunification, and the emergence of the modern Federal Republic.
This is not simply a history of rulers and battles. It is also the story of changing borders, religions, cities, institutions, political ideas, economic systems, and generations of people living through a country that took centuries to become a nation.
Settle in and join Charles for a long, calm journey through the full history of Germany, told in the quiet documentary style of Lamplight History.
