Progression of government regimes
The progressions of governmental regimes in Germany encompass reasons for governmental shifts and growth of Germany as a whole. Shifts in government include the switch from Weimar, to the Third Reich, to a divided Germany, to the recently democratic system. Reasons for these shifts include cultural shifts, modernization, and the need for change. Weimar was abolished for the Third Reich due to the cultural shift in the 30’s toward the new popularity of Hitler. The Third Reich was abolished do to another cultural shift which was the hatred toward Hitler and the realization of the damage he has done around Europe and the need to put an end to it. Because of Hitler’s alliance with Russia, after he was killed, the Soviets took over part of Germany and built the Berlin Wall over night. This happened because of the want for no cultural shift from the Soviets, which led to anti-modernization for Eastern German and continual modernization for Western, which is what has made the unified Germany so different in various regions. The unification of Germany was a mutual agreement between the Soviets and Germany, which stated that both parties believed that the two Germany’s deserve to be unified already after so much angst and oppression on both sides due to the separation of families and the turmoil happening in their beloved Berlin. The growth in current Germany differs for both sides of the country due to the modernization of one side and the need for modernization in the other. The unemployment rate is Eastern Germany is 13.5%, while the rate in Western Germany is 7.4% as of 2010. The progressions of these regimes have caused various consequences, good and bad, in modern Germany today.[1]
