Germany is a country located in Central Europe. The country shares borders with the nine states, and its natural boundaries are: two stretches of coastline to the north, the river Rhine - to the south-west and the Bavarian Alps - to the south-east. People lived on these fertile lands with deep rivers and dense forests from ancient times. For centuries the territory of modern Germany was divided among numerous kingdoms, duchies, bishoprics. After the Hitler’s defeat in World War II, in 1945, the country was divided into two independent States: the Federal and the Democratic Republics. In 1990, there was their reunion.
