From the Holy Roman Empire's fragmented principalities to the modern Federal Republic, Germany's story is a crucible of European history. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through over a millennium of transformation: the rise of the Ottonian dynasty, the Reformation sparked by Martin Luther, the Thirty Years' War that devastated the land, the unification under Otto von Bismarck in 1871, the catastrophic world wars, the Weimar Republic's cultural flowering, the Nazi regime's horrors, the division into East and West during the Cold War, and the reunification in 1990.
