The role of German military 18th century

20th


At the start of WWI, Germany lead an attack on France through Belgium. They were unsuccessful and were beaten back. In 1918, Germany went on the defensive then signed an armistice in November that would lead to a surrender. In East Germany, 1914, Russia was driven back by German generals Hindenburg and Ludendorff. In March of 1918, the British and the French defeated the Germans, with the help of American allies.


21st Century


Germany is trying to take a more active role with their military, by sending aid over to West Africa to help with ebola patients. However, they are running into major problems. Only 70 out of 180 of their boxer tanks are prepared, 7 out of 43 of their Helo's are flight ready, and also only one of four submarines are operational. Despite all of their setbacks, Germany is still attempting to put their martial past behind them and do their best to help where needed.
