For nearly 30 years, during the period known as The Cold War, Germany was symbolic of the ideological struggle occuring in Europe and around the world. Germany was split into two countries, the communist East Germany and the democratic West, and divided by the Berlin Wall. However in 1989, the wall between the 2 countries came crashing down and Germany was reunited once again. Economically, one of the strongest nations in Europe, Germany is well known for its automotive engineering, and its labor force is considered one of the most skilled in the world. And since the unification of East and West Germany, the quality of life has improved for many of the citizens of this important nation.
