During the 1930s, [[Adolf Hitler]] and his Nazi movement took control of Germany and started invading several areas, leading to {{w|World War II}}.

In the aftermath of the war, Germany was split into eastern and western partitions which corresponded to the Allied occupation zones. The eastern portion, which had been occupied by the Soviet Union, became {{w|East Germany}} and had a Communist government. The western portion was composed of the occupation zones of the USA, the UK, and France, and became {{w|West Germany}}, with a democratic government. The capital, Berlin, was also split into {{w|East Berlin|eastern}} and {{w|West Berlin|western}} portions. Because West Berlin was entirely surrounded by East Germany, the Communist regime built the {{w|Berlin Wall}} around it, ostensibly to prevent East Germany from being "contaminated" by western culture, but in reality to prevent people from escaping from East Germany into West Berlin.

Country Information
Continent: Europe
Language spoken: German
Capital city: Berlin
First mentioned: "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"
First appearance: "Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish""

Germany is a country in Europe. Its capital city is Berlin.

History[edit]

Abe Simpson and the Flying Hellfish fought against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis during World War II. Some time during the war, the Flying Hellfish stole paintings from a captured German castle and then made a Tontine to settle the issue of their future ownership.

Much later, after most of the other Hellfish had died, Abe and Mr. Burns fought over the paintings. After many failed attempts to kill Abe and an unsuccessful attempt to steal the paintings after Abe fished them up from the bottom of a lake, Mr. Burns conceded defeat and let Abe have them. However, as Mr. Burns left, the FBI showed up, took the paintings from Abe, and gave them to their rightful owner, Baron von Wörtzenburger.[1]

Brittany Brockman once convinced her father, Kent Brockman, to do a news story about the fall of the Berlin Wall.[2]

When Homer assumed command of a Navy submarine after accidentally killing its captain, his blundering navigation resulted in the vessel intruding into Russian waters. Taking this as a sign of American aggression, Russia turned back into the Soviet Union. Tanks were shown gathering in Moscow, and the Berlin Wall was rebuilt, once again splitting the German capital.[3]

Gymnastics coach Lugash claimed to have escaped from East Germany by cartwheeling over the Berlin Wall. Others, however, said that he defected into East Germany.[4]

The Monroe family had a book from Germany.[5]
