State the difference between Britain and Germany.
Answers
Answer:
Germany–United Kingdom relations, or Anglo–German relations, are the bilateral relations between Germany and the United Kingdom.
Relations were very strong in the Late Middle Ages, when the German cities of the Hanseatic League traded with England and Scotland.
Before the Unification of Germany in 1871, Britain was often allied in wartime with its dominant Prussia. The royal families often intermarried. Also, the House of Hanover (1714–1837) ruled the small Electorate of Hanover, later the Kingdom of Hanover, as well as Britain.
Historians have long focused on the diplomatic and naval rivalries between Germany and Britain after 1871 to search for the root causes of the growing antagonism that led to World War I. In recent years, historians have paid greater attention to the mutual cultural, ideological and technological influences.[1]
During the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), Prussia was from some time a British ally and suffered for it; some of the other German states had supported France. Germany and Britain fought against each other in World War I and World War II. After British occupation of northern West Germany from 1945 to 1950, they became close allies in NATO, which continued after reunification. Both nations are also founding members of several of the European political communities. With Britain's entry into the EEC in 1973, both countries have been primary members of what is now the European Union. In a political referendum held in 2016, the UK voted to withdraw from the European Union and left the bloc at the end of January 2020 after 47 years of membership
