After the Covid hiatus - When did Germany come into exis-tence? Can we say with confidence - who was German? ....

31/1/2021

 
The history of Germany can be classed as controversial on several levels. For instance - when did Germany come into existence. We all have our own view on history but can we say with confidence - who was German?  We will be looking into such subjects over several weeks.

Before our Covid hiatus we had one session on the German connection with the UK Royal Family. 

The conventional history of Germany can be split into a number of periods.
1. The pre Empire.
2. The Empire period
3. The Weimar period.
4. The Nazi period.
5. The German Democratic Republic period.
​
We will be concentrating on the evolution of German Culture and certain aspects consistent with all periods.
 
The first class of A Different View of German History will be held on Tuesday 23rd February from 2 to 4 pm in the U3A Meeting Room provided building renovations/maintenance has been completed.

    A Different View of German History

    ‘A Different View of Germany History’ will be split into several  periods:
    • Pre-Empire Period
    • Empire Period
    • Weimar Republic
    • Nazi Period
    • German Democratic Republic period.
    Some policies were common in all periods.  The German Culture was an influential movement in 19th Century Europe.  We will veer off on tangents whenever the opportunity arises!
