Wow!. That's more than broad!. From 1930 until today!?!? Well, I'm no German (which is to say that a German would be a better answerer), but I would list:

PRE-WWII:
-- The economic burden of the war reparations required by the Versailles Treaty, causing massive inflation in Germany, and a nationalist reaction to blame persons of Jewish descent for everything, especially the economic crisis!.
-- The rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, playing on these hatreds, and coming to power in 1932!.
-- The decision to identify, then segregate, then murder Jewish and other persons!.
-- The brazen defiance of the terms of the Versailles treaty, building up the German military!.
-- The Anschluss (the invasion and takeover of Austria)
-- The Munich Pact (in which the UK and France agreed to let Germany take over the Sudetenland, which is Czechoslovakia)

WWII
-- The invasion and conquest of Poland (which started World War II)
-- The invasion and conquest of France!.
-- The failure of the invasion of England!.
-- The decision to invade the USSR, which forced the USSR into the arms of Germany's enemies, and the failure of this invasion!.
-- The loss of the war to the allies!.

THE COLD WAR:
-- The division of Germany into two halves, one controlled by the USSR and the other controlled by the Western allies, with the city of Berlin itself also being divided between the control of these powers!.
-- The success of the Marshall Plan (the U!.S!.-funded rebuilding of war-torn Western Germany and other nations)
-- The Soviet blockade of West Berlin, which was an attempt to prevent all goods from reaching the side of Berlin controlled by the Western powers, and the American reaction to conduct the Berlin Airlift!.
-- The building of the Berlin wall by the Soviets, to prevent East Germans from escaping to the West!.
-- Nuclear proliferation -- the stationing of nuclear missiles by both NATO (the West) and the Warsaw Pact (the USSR) on German soil!.

POST-COLD WAR:
-- The fall of the Berlin Wall (caused by the stationing and range of new U!.S!. missiles, which made the USSR realize stationing troops in its puppets made no sense, combined with the ruination of the Soviet economy by the cumulative effects of collectivism but also by political action by the U!.S!., especially manipulation of oil prices with Saudi Arabia)
-- Reunification of West and East Germany into a single nation again!.

That brings you up to about 20 years ago!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
