The European country I choose was Germany, officially known as the Federal Republic of Germany. The capital of Germany is Berlin and Germany has a social market economy. Germany is unfortunately known for starting World War I and II and had the Berlin Wall built in 1961 to stop East Germany going into West Germany. The reason why Germany was split up into East and West was because after World War II Germany was split into four military sectors and eventually three of the four joined together to make West Germany. Martin Luther, a German priest, changed Christianity forever when he published his 95 theses. Germany consists of 16 states and has 81.8 million people. Germany has 357,021 squared km and has the largest economy in Europe.
One of the tourist attractions in Germany is the Colgne Cathedral which stands 516 feet high. When it was built in 1840, it was the tallest building in the world until 1844 when the Washington Monument was built. Germany says that the Colgne Cathedral is the most visited landmark in Germany attracting 20,000 or more visitors a day. Another attraction is the several castles built throughout Germany. Some of the main castles are Veste Coburg, Kaiserburg, and the biggest castle in Europe, Burg zu Burghausen. Lastly you can't go to Germany without visiting Signal Iduna Park, which is the largest soccer stadium in Germany. I say this because soccer is Germany's favorite sport and Germany has over 6. 3 million official members of soccer.
