Why Germany is Still Divided...

- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Germany officially reunited in 1989. Today, it definitively stands as one of the most powerful and influential nations on Earth. However, remnants of East Germany's communist past still exist today. In this video, we explore some of those differences, as well as why they have come to be! Enjoy! :)

As a German, I knew everything in the video, but it was explained well and in detail so that even people who know almost nothing about Germany can understand it well. Good Job 👍
Thank you! As an American it can be kind of hard to analyze countries I haven’t been to, so I have to rely on what I read/watch.
I’m happy you enjoyed it!

You should make a similar video for North and South Italy, I feel there are lots of similarities, even though the historical reasons may differ completely
Same with uk 🇬🇧
This is an EXCELLENT idea bro! I’ll be sure to consider this for sure!
a lovely video, haven't watched it yet but i can predict its brilliant as always.
Haha thanks bro 😂
It's good to see you making videos again
Gemany is absolutely insane

You should really make more of these long forum geopolitical videos
I love how every video of this guy can explain every thing better Than any teacher and his videos have a really good quality
Haha thanks bro 😂
East Germany still owns an uninhabited island in Cuba💀
What?
@@teamteslaeckyvlogs1 They bought an island from Cuba and they still own it💀
@RorysAdventures2024 no they did not. It had been "united" by west germany
@@KingdomofJerusalem123 no cuz only the Germany part was unified not the island in Cuba
@@teamteslaeckyvlogs1 Yes, Although East Germany (the German Democratic Republic, GDR) leased a small island in Cuba known as Cayo Blanco del Sur from 1972 until the reunification of Germany in 1990. This island was used primarily as a vacation spot for East German officials and employees. The lease was part of the close relationship between East Germany and Cuba during the Cold War.
12:13 I think it's not Hessen as a territory, but Frankfurt as a city(located inside Hessen) which screws statistics. So Frankfurt is a financial capital of Germany, even the European bank(the bank that prints Euro currency all over Europe) is located there. Would be interesting to see the Hessen without the Frankfurt metropolitan area(and nearby cities).
I remember, when I watched you in 2022. And you thanked us when you only had about 700 subscribers. It’s crazy how you almost have half a million subscribers!
i am honestly loving this new video style! love your videos! keep up the good work :D
Thanks bro! I’m really glad you find value in them 😎
@@global.thingsof course dude! your videos make learning geography actually fun, with them funny sound effects and such, so Gen Alpha actually learns :)
0:49 👴⚒️ TEAR DOWN THE WALL! (For Freedom). 👴⚒️
8:10 🇺🇸🍊 We Gonna Build That Wall.(For "Freedom"). 🇺🇸🍊
Hmm..... Very Interesting.
indeed.
Yeah but it wasn’t trump who wanted to build the wall. If I’m not wrong, it was either W. Bush or Obama passed a bill to build the wall
How do you not understand the two different scenarios oh wait you do you just don’t want to bring them up because they that makes you lose all your reasoning
@@zach2382 its just a joke
@@janwas_here no really that’s not the point of why I said anything
Despite that, Germany is still the goat of modern-day Europe 🔥
saw your essay from elevated school about geography and flags and id say it was amazing

got divided
2024: filthy rich
2024: Islamic immigrants
thats correct,
Wow your editing has improved
as a German whose parents grew up in the East, i can confirm that all u have said is true and correct. Im amazed that someone not from Germany could explain this so well, my dad often told me how it was in the east, like living, school and stuff and i was always shocked that such things existed which we today couldn’t think of, also speaking of „Freedom“ which wasn’t really there and the fact that you were only allowed to travel into other socialist countries and no capitalist countries which is crazy for me to think of. Yeah my Grandparents still live in the east so im visiting them often and i can say: Yes we are still Divided, even though for non German people we might look united. Great Job👍
West Germany's lights is completely different compared to the east

Love the flag in your pfp.

USA: “I hate walls especially the one in Berlin” *35 years later* USA: “Now I love walls, especially the one separating us from Mexico.”
they need a wall? like all country's we need a boarder to protect us they can still get in and the wall isn't even working if they want to get in they can, LEGALLY

Me: Oh You THINK.
Hi German here! I think your video was very well explained. I knew most stuff but still learned a lot thanks
I love your vids
❤ur voice and videos
As a German, I have to say that this sums pretty much the history with enough detail so that everyone can understand it. 👍
As an American, it’s sometimes difficult to cover things like this that I haven’t been able to see or experience first hand, so I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Neumark, Schlesien, Westpreussen, Ostpreussen, Posen, pommern, Elsass-Lothringen.
Was haben die ehemaligen ostgebiete mit der DDR zu tun?
@@user-et5ke4px8x alsace lorraine is not eastern
if comunism didn't exist in Poland, my grandma's family would be extremely weathly because of education
I think you should also mention that former eastern bloc countries are also somewhat separated from Western Europe
For example in 1991, 39.1% of Czechs were Catholic. In 2021, it is now 9.3%…
So technically, I’ve travelled through East Germany?
And nobody payed attention to hoi4 music playing in the background?
What If Latin Europe united into one single country
Mind if I expand on this? (I make my own alternate history art, n this is close to my Mediterranean Confederation idea)
What if the Franco-German Union between France and West Germany proposed in 1950 had been implemented?
Love Hoi4 music in the background
Reconstruction aid and better management certainly helped West Germany with restoring its industry after the war, compared to East Germany.
But West Germany also was already greatly advantaged by having had a world leading industry before the war. East Germany never had much industry to begin with, and what there was was highly concentrated in the very south in Saxony. Even if Germany had been unified in 1949, the eastern states would always have remained economically weaker than the southern and western states. Though of course to a significantly lesser degree.
yes i watched the video in 10 seconds
global things ur the goat
Great video
YES NEW GLOBAL THINGS VIDEO JUST DROPPED AT 12AM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ive always known you for doing half assed yt shorts, wouldnt have imagined seeing you on my homepage with an actual wellmade video one day
Actually the problem in this was Stalin not communism
saar its not real communism saar
I was grown up in the DDR and had a good childhood.
Got here faster than the berlin wall fell
I’m still waiting for Armenia’s video.
Ronald would be mad at Donald for building that wall.
I worked in Germany and it is not true that Western Germans are rich and Eastern Germans are poor. In the West, wages are low in 2020 they paid people 1200 euros, while in the East wages started at 1900 euros at the same time. My colleagues who are now working in the East now have 2500 euros plus benefits and sometimes even free accommodation. Where in the West they earn 1400 euros.
Kinda

Should’ve have also gone into things like north south divide, including catholic and Protestant divide, and etc but nice video
Btw, great video👍
12:13 Is Thüringen really pronounced that way in english
10 year delay in the delivery of an automobile also applies in the Soviet Union
Nice video
Still there's an island in cuba that was given to east germany and when they reunited germany no one mentioned the islands. So we can say that east germany still exist even if it's not
Your channel's pfp makes me edge.
No way we got Germany lore before GTA 6
Can you take an ancestry DNA test and then make a video about the results? I'm curious about your ethnicity!
i wonder why the soviets treated the germans like that. It's not like the germans broke a treaty and started clapping around for 1,5 years
u look like peter parker from the insomniac games
Based eastern Germany 🗿
This is all because of Norway
what do you mean by that
Simply because Norway is exporting iron ore to Germany through neutral Denmark and they didn't played both sides Like Finland in ww2
12:33 "The relative popularity of AfD" why do I hear HOI4 music?

I didn’t know that Germany was still divided💀
It’s not
@@herrforesight-Satanisking then why is the video saying it’s still divided?
@@CoolDude18372 oh I don’t know, perhaps you should WATCH IT
As someone who lives and was raised in the former east germany, I can say there is still a cultural and economic dived between the West and the so called neuen Bundesländer (New federal states).
For example less wages and pensions
Diclining towns
Less Population
More economic groth due to the lag of buissneses after the reunification
Less trust in the politc system
And a far intense culture of protesting if something seems going wrong, likely because of the experience that our parents and grandparents made in a real dictatorship.
Sorry, your data is out of date and gives a false picture: For several years now, more people have been moving from west to east than vice versa. Yes, wages are slightly lower in east Germany than in the west, but rents and property prices are also lower here. Since Americans tend to associate the UK with Europe, here's how it really is: Germans in general earn an average of €8,500 more per year than their British colleagues/counterparts, and so east Germans in particular have a much higher standard of living than the English, especially those in the north. Germany is one of the countries that can feed its population without any imports (in contrast to the UK), not least because East Germany has huge agricultural areas and, logically, fewer people live there. This should explain why there are fewer companies there than in the West.- Nevertheless, an incredible amount of investment is being made in future industries in the East German metropolitan region outside of Berlin.
The most recent FOREIGN investments in EAST-Germany:
Everyone knows that Tesla built its European factory in the state of Brandenburg/Germany (and not in the UK) and is already producing there for the European market.
- The US company Intel wants to produce computer chips with a size of 1.5 nanometers in the planned (construction has started) factory in Magdeburg in the state of Saxony-Anhalt/Germany. Current chips are usually significantly larger. 3,000 high-tech jobs will be created and tens of thousands of additional jobs by suppliers and partners. The city of Magdeburg is building a new district to create living space. Investments in Magdeburg for the factory alone are said to amount to more than 30 billion euros. In the construction phase alone, around 7,000 workers are needed for the Intel factory alone. The same applies to the
- Chip company TSMC from Taiwan, which is building a semiconductor factory with 2,000 new jobs in Dresden in the state of Saxony/Germany.
[To complete it: the most recent FOREIGN investments in WEST-Germany: - The Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt has decided to build a CO2 neutral factory near Heide in the state of Schleswig-Holstein/Germany. 3,000 jobs will be created here, as well as thousands more at suppliers and service providers. - Microsoft is building 2 large data centers for AI in North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany, plus an AI qualification offensive with local partners from business, municipalities, schools and educational institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia and throughout Germany. - The US pharmaceutical giant Lilly is investing billions in a new factory in Rhineland-Palatinate/Germany.- Of course, German companies are also investing heavily throughout Germany.] - Germany's economy seems to be barely growing at the moment, but this is due to restructuring (see investments above) and almost doubling its defense spending.
By the way, here is a classification of how the political parties in Germany compare with those in the USA: You can compare the AfD with the Republicans in the USA, the Democrats with the German CDU (Opposition party currently) and the current German government with the political ideas of a "Bernie Sanders". If you think that's bad, you're wrong: under our current government, Germany has climbed to third place behind the USA and China among the largest economies in the world, ahead of Japan, and despite restructuring, increasing tensions in the world and the associated protectionism instead of globalization! - (Incidentally, the UK has fallen to sixth place of the largest economies, behind India, under a conservative government.)-
Excuse my bad English, but greetings from Germany anyway.
Sad informative comments like this don't get looked at by the greater viewership
@@Vian_B11 Unfortunately, the perception within Germany is also distorted; people are constantly complaining here too, although we Germans are doing incredibly well - even (or especially) in comparison to the UK.
Hey! Thanks for taking the time to write this out!
Germany is still VERY MUCH a developed and wealthy nation (including Eastern Germany).
In fact, I’d argue that Germany is the single most important economy in Europe! 🇩🇪 💪
The purpose of this video was to highlight why there are noticeable differences between the East and West today.
Though the West is more economically developed, that isn’t to call the East poor in comparison to global standards by any means! It does happen to be poorer than the West, though.
Regarding Germany’s parties, the relative popularity of the AfD in East Germany highlights a difference in the political ideology/mentality of Easterners (similar to how Alabama is different than California in America). This isn’t to say the East is better or worse in any way, though! I’m sorry if it came across that way!
I hope that helps clear some things up! :)

Youre right we germans often forget how good our every Day lives are, even if ther still a lot of Problems to Face here.
But the lac of Industry in east germany comes in my oppinon from the decustruction of a lot of former state owened east german factories an mines. On the other hand it the goverment invests huge somes of money in the New staes because of economic oppurtunity.
3:54 nice
can you show your sources? i want to read more about it :)
I subscribed to globai things
Everytime I cross the border sovjet music start playing in my head.
2:24 The AfD is not an radical or extreme party. And totaly not communist. Im german myself and the only thing that devides germany is our own goverment in not only making redicolous choices but also marking everything as extreme that does not fit in their plans.
The afd is far right that is extreme. Like the linke are far left which is also extreme
@@Montgomery_official How Do you seem to know that?
@@CraftingManager why wouldnt i know
@@Montgomery_official maybe because you arent german (maybe) and didnt read the party program what i did. Because then you would know theres only some members that are extreme but not the party itself.
@@CraftingManager of course not everyone is radical but some key members of the party are right wing extremists, which disqualifies the party in general, in my opinion

That’s true. I visited Berlin in 2014 or so and the traffic lights around the “Pariser Platz” (Place of Paris) are different at the west- and the east side.
