modern Germany

Post-wall European power

Modern Germany refers to the Federal Republic of Germany, the nation-state established after World War II and reunified in 1990.

The term typically distinguishes contemporary Germany—democratic, prosperous, central to the European Union—from earlier incarnations: the German Empire, Weimar Republic, or Nazi Germany.

Modern Germany has become Europe's largest economy.
