So, go ahead and start learning about this vibrant, historic nation! Until World War II, Germany was composed of small states ruled by dukes and kings. The Germans declared war on Poland in 1939, but it took them a little longer to do so. Throughout the 20th century, the country worked with other European countries to create colonies in Africa and Asia. However, after World War I, Germany fell behind Great Britain and France. In 1933, Adolf Hitler came to power, promising to make Germany great again. The country was divided into East and West, which led to the Cold War, a 44-year clash between the Soviet Union and the Western world. Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and printed the first Latin language Bible in 1455 in Mainz. The Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed in Western Europe using movable metal type. It is now displayed at the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz. In the 19th century, Dr. Felix Hoffmann's discovery of acetylsalicylic acid led to the first marketed drug, Aspirin. In 1895, the German Empire became the first country to implement daylight saving time nationwide. In 1916, the Austria-Hungary Empire also followed suit.
