Berlin stands up again/Carlos Pueblo

Berlin stands up again/Carlos Pueblo

After a brief visit of Berlin, Germany, I search some information on
the internet in order to understand the German Nation. Places such
as Berlin Mitte. Alexanderplatz, Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz
, and the Uter den Linden Blvd., etc. all appeared in ruin on You Tube
archives. Now, almost all the famous historical building have been
rebuilt according to the original glory and Berlin stands up again, Germany
is born again. I admire very much of the effort of refugee settlement by
Germany under the premier Angela Merkel leadership via Europe Union.
It is a meaningful life, noble and humanity and few of the world nations
are able to reach this level.

I watched the movie picture of the ruined, women picked up potato from
the ruined farm surrounding the Victory Column current day the Tiergarten
Park. I also read about the old glory of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Germany
Empire. The Column was erected to celebrate a victory to France captured
Louis Napoleon in 1871, before that two major victory to neighboring empires,
Denmark’s Viking Empire in 1860 and Vienna’s Austria-Hungary Empire in 1864.
I have found that Germany has been a major player nation ever since the fourth
Century from making the fall of Western Roman Empire, Middle Age, Holly Roman
Empire, and Industrial Revolution and don’t mention the two world wars which
severely ruin the nation; however Germany comes back again and Berlin is the
capital of this nation.

After WWII, many nations have received US Aid to rebuilt their nations; however,
only a few nations come out alright and Germany is one of them. Many leaders of
Germany have helped to organized the European Union in order to make peace in
Europe and compete with the rest of the world economic power. EU maintains
certain requirement of modern day civilization, such as public fund health insurance,
democratic system, and humanity toward refugee. EU sympathize with the weak and
it is a progressive idea that I like. Germany has begun involving helping Greek financial
crisis, Middle Eastern refugee, and even warns Russian Putin via EU with a threat of
prosecution of war criminal for his inhumane behavior in Ukraine and Syria and I think

that Putin takes note. I am very impressed of Germany and Berlin.
