It experienced great economic and military growth during most of its lifespan. In 1914, The First World War broke out and Germany, along with its allies, lost the war in 1918. The new democratic Weimar Republic formed after the war fell into a deep depression economically and militarily as a nation, which led to the rise of the Nazi Party, a political party that sought to unite all Germans and expand its boundaries. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, The Nazis took control in 1933, and just 5-6 years later, they annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia. Despite several warnings by France and Britain, Germany invaded Poland in 1939, beginning the Second World War

He then set many economic and military reforms to revive Germany's former glory and made Germany a great power again.

The New Axis era (1954-1968)
Germany soon found itself in a precarious position, in between clashing ideologies of the East and West. With Capitalism in the West and Communism in the East, Germany formed the New Axis in 1955, along with his brother, Austria, and France, to face the ever-increasing threats of these ideologies. Together with Switzerland, they manage to swept aside the remaining Fascist nations of Europe in 1956. Then in 1959, along with Poland and Romania's Cordon Sanitare alliance, they manage to defeat the Soviet Union.

The Soviets also pushed past Romania and is nearing the gates of Warsaw, but then, Japan and the Prosperity Sphere intervened to help the New Axis. Then Britain declared war on neutral Sweden for trading with Germany, which caused the Nordic Nations, who were helping Britain, to turn against him and also caused the American nations to quit NATO. Britain blames Germany and drops a nuclear bomb in North Germany. Despite having 50% of its land nuked, Germany carried on and managed to liberate Western Europe single-handedly. Seeing Germany's success, Britain and the Soviet Union decided to merge pacts, but Germany manage to defeat Britain, and Western Europe was fully liberated.
