Answer 1

Let's start with a city that has played a huge part in the shaping of the continent we call Europe today. What city is this?

Answer 2

Berlin played a huge part in the shaping of the continent we call Europe today.

This is Germany's largest and second largest city in the European Union. Berlin is an important center for Europe's politics, culture and science. For Europe's traffic it's like a pivot.

After World War II the city was divided. East Berlin became the capital of the Democratic Republic of the East (East Germany) and came to the west part of West Berlin, surrounded by the Berlin Wall. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Berlin city was once again formed and after the integration of Germany, became the whole of Germany.
