Germany.
After the end of World War II, Germany was a defeated country, and the defeated Germany was occupied by the victorious countries, the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain, and France, but the social and political systems of each country were different. Moreover, the major occupation zones were actually independent of each other, and their political issues were different.
In September 1949, under the dominance of the United States, Britain, and France, the Western Occupation Zone became the Federal Republic of Germany "West Germany". In October, the Soviet Union also turned the Soviet-occupied zone into the German Democratic Republic, also known as "East Germany". In this way, Germany** became a country with two camps completely opposed.
In 1961, the East Germans built the Berlin Wall, which became a symbol of the confrontation between the two Germanys and a symbol of the Cold War between East and West. An important catalyst for the reunification of the two Germanys was the upheavals in Eastern Europe in 1989. At that time, the situation in the Soviet camp was turbulent, and East Germany was no exception, and a large number of citizens fled to West Germany under the pretext of traveling abroad. In particular, after Hungary opened its western borders in September, more than 80,000 people from East Germany poured into West Germany within a month.
On October 3, 1990, after a long period of deliberation, negotiation and waiting, East Germany was merged into West Germany, and the two Germany officially declared their reunification, and the country retained the name of West Germany, the Federal Republic of Germany, which is the Germany we see today.
Looking back on the past, Germany's history seems to be full of "iron and blood", it set off two world wars, and was defeated twice, and Germany has been repeatedly "jumping horizontally" in the first and unification. Nowadays, we are reminded that when we talk about Germany, we must know its sausages and beers.
Switzerland.
Sandwiched between Germany, France, and Italy, the "buffer zone of great powers" Since ancient times, the small countries in the world, which have been sandwiched between many powers, have often not mixed well. Because of its awkward geographical location, such a small country can easily become cannon fodder when major powers clash, and be repeatedly contested and ravaged. However, there is such a small country in Europe, which is bordered by France to the west, Germany to the north, and Italy to the south....·· It's not as big as its three neighbors, but it's one of the richest countries in the world per capita – it's Switzerland.
From 1618 to 1648, the "Thirty Years' War" broke out in Europe The main battlefield of the war was Germany, but Switzerland, which was nominally part of the German Holy Roman Empire at that time, did not participate in the war, did not join or interfere with any of the belligerents, and maintained a neutral attitude. He then also acted as a mediator, mediating between the warring parties. Moreover, Switzerland's neutral status is recognized by all parties. After the fall of Napoleon at the end, Switzerland also regained its freedom. They also agreed to recognize Switzerland's permanent neutrality.
