我想問D關於德國的歷史(ENGLISH please)急!急!急!

德意志聯邦共和國（德語：Bundesrepublik Deutschland，簡稱德國，是位於歐洲中部的議會制和聯邦制國家，由16個邦組成，首都柏林。德國陸上與法國、瑞士、奧地利、捷克、波蘭、丹麥、荷蘭、比利時、盧森堡共九個國家接壤，是歐洲鄰國最多的國家。

德國在1871年普法戰爭中第一次形成統一的國家。德國是第一次世界大戰和第二次世界大戰的發動國和戰敗國，二戰後，德國在1949年被美蘇英法四強分割為東德和西德兩部分 。1989年東歐民主運動蜂起，各國共黨政權紛紛垮臺；在四強同意下，1990年東德和西德終於達成兩德統一。

德國是歐洲聯盟的創始會員國之一，也是聯合國、北大西洋公約組織和八國集團的成員國，是當今世界強國之一[1][2]。德國是世界第四大經濟體（按GDP計算）、世界第一大商品出口國和第二大商品進口國[3]。德國人口超過8200萬，是現今歐盟成員國中人口最多的一個[4]。

The ethnogenesis of the Germanic tribes is assumed to have occurred during the Nordic Bronze Age, or at the latest, during the Pre-Roman Iron Age. From southern Scandinavia and northern Germany, the tribes began expanding south, east and west in the 1st century BC, coming into contact with the Celtic tribes of Gaul as well as Iranian, Baltic, and Slavic tribes in Eastern Europe. Little is known about early Germanic history, except through their recorded interactions with the Roman Empire, etymological research and archaeological finds.
