The Nostalgia of East Germans in Good bye Lenin
Main points:
1) Why were the East Germans so nostalgic about joining with W. Germnany :
-They lose not only their national identitity but a definition of who a they are as individuals. They were socialist who unlike the W. Germas were not materialistic. They thouh about the welfare of their community even more than theirs. ( An example can be seen when Christiane Kenner help) people to write letters , teaches children and through the various awards she received ) ones Alex Kerner bought for his mum. Christiane Kerner appreciated an improvement in the taste of her E. gherkins brand without knowing that her son swithched the actual content with that Western gherkins brand. This shows the products of the West were of better qualiy. - The East Germans had to surrender to their Fellow West German counterparts. This can be seen through jobs. Because the W. Germnan’s currency and economy was more stable, they kept their jobs whike the E. Germans lose theirs . Consequently they had to work for w.gamns. The proof that the W.Germans were more economically successful is that whn Alex and Aria saw their father who had fled to W.Germany he was appeared finicially stable. He owned a car and… title in W.Gmny This is a sign that the earlier E. Gmns accepted to intergrate with the W. Gmny the greater their chances are of doing well
- The values of the socialist East were neglected by the capitalist W. 2) Mention political parties and government of both countries in the mean time - Who was appreciated and who was not.

    On the fateful day in November the “symbol” of communism, the Berlin Wall, was tore down by both the West in East Germans. This act signified the culminating point of the Revolutionary changes sweeping Europe, and the eventual fall of the Soviet Union and most Communism as people. Throughout the Soviet era, the side of West Germany was under harsh Communist rule. This breaking down of the wall had such a greater meaning, it was the birth of freedom to all those currently oppressed. Such an action had great repercussions on the world, back then and yet still today.…

    The Berlin Wall, three words which bring to mind some of the most turbulent and confusing years twentieth century Germany had ever seen. Often, when discussing this topic, most of the focus mainly surrounds the construction and destruction of this great barrier. Although these topics will be discussed at length, the reasons for its construction and later destruction began long before any sign of an official barrier made an appearance.…

    With the ending of the First World War, Germany entered a grand new era in its history, one that showed promise and change for the good, however, immediately from its outset, the Weimar Republic encountered serious difficulties both externally and within. In this essay, I will asses how surprising it is that the Weimar Republic did not fall into ruin between the years 1919-1924 by considering the effects of the war and the weakness of the Weimar Constitution upon the Republic as well as the economic problems faced and the threats from both sides of the political spectrum.…

    Two nations arose from the ashes of the Third Reich, West Germany, the BDR, occupied by the Western members of the Allied powers, and East Germany, the GDR, occupied by the Soviet Union. As a result of conflicting ideals between East and West, the two Germany’s would develop separately until their eventual reunification at the end of the 20th century. It is an indisputable fact that German culture was forever changed as a result of the outcome of World War II, and the horrors perpetrated by Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. From the moment of surrender onwards, the culture of Germany would begin to be defined by the occupiers of Germany. In West Germany, this influence was spear-headed by American implementation of the Marshall Plan. While the Marshall…

    The Treaty of Versailles was a monumental stage in German history, helping to shape German history for arguably the best part of thirty years. It can be argued that the Treaty was the most significant event since the unification of Germany in 1890. The short term consequences were also highly prominent as over 300,000 Germans fled to America in the years 1917-23. Moreover many Germans were aggrieved by the Treaty, this lead to public exploits (Kapp Putsch and Munich Putsch) that lead to casualties accumulating into the 1000’s. With so much death and despair in Germany in the 1920’s the Treaty of Versailles effectively crippled Germany both economically and mentally. Furthermore the effects did not only stretch to the late 20’s, Hitler used the Treaty as a major campaigning point to secure chancellorship in 1933. Hitler still held severe indignations over the Treaty of Versailles and still held a personal vendetta with the parent countries that imposed such harsh terms on Germany in 1917. Although the Treaty of Versailles was a pivotal stage in shaping German history there are other corresponding factors such as the erection of the Berlin wall in 1961, consequently perpetually separating East and West Berlin for 28 years. After the wall came down in 1989, Germany became reunified in 1990, arguably the most significant turning point in German history as it enabled Germany to prosper as a whole nation, since then Germany has gone on to establish itself as a world superpower, both militarily and economically. It is difficult to come to a definitive answer on what the biggest turning point is, however I plan to analyse pivotal points in German history, dating from 1917-1990.…
