NosferatuGirl If I remember correctly from my AP Euro class, originally, Germany was a bunch of individual countries ruled by princes. They all united under one ruler, and formed the HRE, which eventually included part of France, Northern Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Vienna, and some other countries. They had an electorate and that electorate elected an emperor. Eventually, they came to be ruled by the Hapsburgs out of Austria (I think. It's been a couple years). Anyway, countries started gaining independence, and the HRE dwindled. Napoleon and the French eventually killed it in the 1800's, I think, and it went to being the German Confederation. I think that was taken up by Prussia, and then the Germans ate what Prussia gave them, and became one big Germany. Well, it became a really big Germany until the end of WWI, when Germany was cut down to size (still bigger than they are today) and their king ousted. It then became the Weimar Republic, and was eventually seized by Hitler. Well, I shouldn't say seized, because he was elected. Anyway, I think it is highly likely that the HRE becomes Germany later on in APH. Why? Because the last of the HRE turned into what we now call Germany. And there you have it. smile If any part of that was wrong, you're free to correct me. As I said before, It's been a couple of years. Just as a side note, I know my students are going to watch at least part of APH, or just read it, when I start teaching US History. I still have a few years to go, but I will definately do it. xd Wow! That pretty much proves it, in my opinion.
