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.
