GERMANY

This past tuesday we had a very interesting class about coutries and their power. Were we all discuss who we thought were the strongest countries or the followers countries.
I could notice that only my team voted for GERMANY as the country that will dominate the world, and even in my same team I was the only one that believes that. But I stay firm with my answer of Germany dominating the world because, I think that in World War II they had a very good plan of how to get more and more territories. I think that they are very intelligent and organize people and if they want to they can do it again but with the difference that now they have a high cultural level, they have more discipline. The only thing they could have against them is globalization, because a lot of countries keep resentiment for what happend before, but even though, they could overcome that and conquer another important countries, because as I said before, they are very intelligent.

I'm not sure that Germany will dominate the world. WWII is a very different situation. At this time Germany had a dictator and it seams to me that it wasn't the best way to lead the Germans. Since then, the German politic changed. There were many events that marked its political history, like the wall of Berlin, which represented the division of one country. I think Germany was a strong country, with strong citizens even after the WWII. If you remember how fast the German reconstructed and re-build almost all Germany, because all Germany was in ruins after the attack of all the countries. That is for me a more important point to consider. We have to remember also that it was not just about re-building all the infrastructures etc. but the political system was also a mess. And that they could find a solution without Hitler in so short time is fantastic.
