It is the 13th largest country in terms of population and one of the richest countries in the world. It is a major regional and world political and financial power. Germany is an important member of the European Union, NATO and the Eurozone. The country was involved in both of the World Wars and during World War II Germany expanded their territory throughout Europe. The country was split into East and West Germany after defeat in World War II.
