Examining the Legacy of Two World Wars
Germany has a complex and controversial history, shaped by its involvement in two World Wars that resulted in devastating consequences for Germany and the rest of the world. While Germany was not solely responsible for the outbreak of World War 1, its actions and alliances played a significant role in the escalation of the conflict.
