Why is the capital of Germany, the largest member of the European Union, far less famous than Paris

Berlin is the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and present-day Germany five times. However, in terms of international influence and economic strength, it is still worse than Paris and London.

There are many factors。Historically, Berlin was founded in 1307, just a few hundred years ago. While the name Paris dates back to the 3rd century AD, London is an important city with a known existence of nearly 2,000 years.

Judging from the precipitation of time, there is no comparison at all, thereforeCultural heritage is also very different.

And if you think about it, Berlin is not as well promoted as Paris and London. There is a lot of promotional material about the latter two cities on Weibo, and Berlin, although there are many of them, always gives people a sense of enclosure and self-love.

Of course, there is another thing that limits Berlin's fame: due to Germany's federal system, it has many core cities, such as Munich and Hamburg, which are also very strong, so it will naturally steal some of the limelight.

In addition, the advent of World War II also greatly limited the development of Berlin. Not only did the artillery fire destroy the appearance of the city, but Berlin was also divided in two after the war. The architectural styles of East and West Germany were very different, which greatly damaged the classical style of Berlin.

At the same time, Germany has also carried out industrial transfers, many of which have been moved to other cities, providing very even public resources, which further reduces the likelihood of Berlin becoming a "single man".

However, since the reunification of Germany in 1990, Berlin has also grown rapidly. Now, 30 years later, it has one of the highest vegetation coverage in Europe and is very habitable. As for the economic level, due to historical fragmentation, there are still relatively large regional differences, and the burden is heavy.

At present, the economic center of Germany is Frankfork, which is also an important industrial, commercial and transportation center, and its strength is very strong. Berlin, by contrast, is relatively backward in terms of financial power, so it is natural that it is not so well-known compared to Paris and London. Regardless, Berlin is still a city worth visiting.

Personally, I think that since World War II, Germany has been very low-key since it was a defeated country, and it is very famous compared to London and Paris in terms of economic development and tourism.

First of all, due to historical reasons, Germany was one of the Axis powers that started World War II, and its historical position hindered its subsequent economic development. Secondly, because the cities of Paris and London were founded in the Middle Ages, their long history has also contributed to his fame.

Because Paris and London are the only cities in France and England, while the German cities are full of flowers, Berlin is only a political center, not even the cultural or economic center of Germany.

The EU does not have a boss, because the EU belongs to the European economic and political community, and its member states are all equal and mutually helpful. Matters in the EU are discussed and decided by the European Commission.

The EU has the initiative to propose legal documents and prepare them for the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. The European Commission can withdraw its legal proposal at any time if it has not yet received a resolution.

The EU's treaties have been amended several times and operate in accordance with the Lisbon Treaty. Politically, all member states are parliamentary democracies, economically the second largest economic entity in the world, and militarily, with the exception of Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Austria, Malta and Cyprus (the first five of which are internationally recognized as permanent neutrals), the remaining 21 EU member states are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In the Brexit one, the boss is France.

As one of the five hooligans of the Security Council, France's political status is much higher than that of Germany, an economic powerhouse.

The main reason for Brexit is that Germany and France have joined forces to dominate the EU.

Germany is the leader of the European Union, the most powerful economic entity in the European Union, and the defender of the existing European order.

Germany accounts for about 22% of the total population of the European Union, making it the most populous country in the European Union;

Germany accounts for about 30% of the EU's GDP and provides about 30% of the EU's total budget, ranking first among EU member states.

Obviously, Britain is marginalized, GDP is so high, but the European countries on the continent have never taken Britain seriously, Britain is in a hurry, ready to leave the European Union, to be an ally of the United States, the European continent is dominated by Germany and France, technology and military complementarity, but Germany has also dug a big hole for itself, many European countries are very lazy, relying on tourism and handouts to get by, hollowing out the European economy, enjoying free benefits, which is equivalent to an old cow pulling a cart, the ultimate vision of the United States wants to disintegrate the European Union, like the Soviet Union, and turn it into its own vassal, just like Japan and South Korea in Asia.

Up to now, the world's only four remaining principalities are all related to Europe, so here we must first explain what a principality is, a principality is a kind of ancient country, it is different from what we usually call empires and kingdoms, then the principality is lower than the empire and kingdom in terms of hierarchical relationship, it is the next level of the empire and the kingdom, she their head of state is generally not called the king, but is called the archduke, they are generally as a vassal of the empire and the kingdom, so as the traditional sense of the vassal state, They are located in a relatively small country area and a small population, and sometimes the bridge is positioned more like a city than a country. <>

Secondly, these four principalities are relatively developed in terms of economy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is hungry and rich in oil, the first principality is the Grand Duchy of Andorra, which is located in the southwest of Europe, at the junction of France and Spain, and is also a small principality that survives in the gap between the European powers, the land area of this principality is already 468 square kilometers, which is less than a county in China, and the population is less than 80,000 people, but Andorra belongs to the developed countries of Europe. GDP per capita is more than $40,000. The second country is the Principality of Luxembourg, we are most familiar with the Luxembourg National Park, Luxembourg is located in the northwest of Europe, it is surrounded by France, Germany and Belgium, the country's land area should be the largest of the four principalities, the population is close to 600,000, in addition to Luxembourg's resources are also very rich, the average GDP has reached 110,000 US dollars. <>

The third principality is the Grand Duchy of Monaco, Monaco is only France's neighbor relative to other countries, Monaco is located in the south of France, and Monaco is also the second smallest country in the world, and it is also the smallest of the four principalities, its land area is only one square kilometer, equivalent to a village in our country, and the population is only 30,000 people, but although the sparrows are small, the gambling industry and tourism of the Principality of Monaco are very developed, and it is also the richest country in the world. GDP per capita is more than $180,000. Finally, I am not very familiar with this principality, the Grand Duchy of Liechtenstein, which is a landlocked pocket country in the middle of Europe, between Switzerland and Austria, this principality has a land area of 160 square kilometers and a population of less than 40,000 people, because it is located inland, so the resources of this principality are relatively lacking, and the living standards of the people of this country are also very high with its philatelic and tourism industries. So if you want to rank the four principalities in terms of economy, it is undoubtedly Monaco, and if it is land area, it is Luxembourg.

Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey are known as the four principalities. At present, the strongest of them is Ebu Yanji.

This country has the longest history, with a land area of more than one million square kilometers, and its relatively fertile land is strong, and it has become the leader of the Middle East.

Monaco, Monaco has the strongest economy, with a per capita GDP of up to $180,000, so it has a high status.

Now there are only four Grand Duchyes in the world, one is the Grand Duchy of Annathra, one is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, one is the Grand Duchy of Monaco, and the last one is the Grand Duchy of Biechtenstein, and the Grand Duchy of Monaco is the smallest Grand Duchy in area, only one square kilometer, but their per capita GDP exceeds that of Ming Qin by 180,000. So I think Monaco should be the best.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has a higher status, with a very low unemployment rate, an average life expectancy of 80 years, and a member of NATO, which pursues a policy of secluded security that relies on the Northern Rubber Treaty.

Judging from the overall economic strength and some international influence rankings, Wal-Mart has the highest economic strength and status.
