Why is germany so successful?

Throughout history, the world's best minds have come from Germany.

The world's best Scientists, musicians, politicians, inventors etc are all German.

Hitler almost conquered the UK

(He took the channel Islands)

and he certainly would have had it not been for the Americans.

Surely all these people coming from Germany must have some kind of genetic advantage because surely it can't be chance.

Nonsense. What about the Greek, French and Chinese philosophers?

Musicians? Heard any German pop?

Politicians? Name three.

Inventors? Without using Google, name three.


No, he didn't. His air force got a kicking, his navy wasn't up to the job and there's no guarantee their army would have succeeded in establishing a beachhead to support a successful invasion.


No he didn't. He was given them to prevent them being flattened in a futile defence.

Well, it's amazing what you can achieve when you use slave labour and steal the resources of an entire continent to fund your war machine.

Indeed Germany does have a genetic advantage. By murdering all their physically and mentally handicapped it has resulted in an ongoing reduced social welfare burden and this has been a financial and human resource advantage ever since.

Also, the Marshall Plan also gave them a huge advantage at the end of WWII; while other countries were rebuilding, America rebuilt Germany. Meanwhile the UK had to pay a vast war debt to the USA (which I think we only finished paying off in the 1990s) since we hired them to fight with us.

The reunification of Germany also gave them a huge boost in combining West and East markets and the industry of West Germany with the mineral resources and cheap labour of East Germany.


So, Germany is a large country, with lots of resources, a high population, which was given a boost in the 1940s and 1950s while neighbouring countries were held back. No wonder they're doing well.

Meh, check before Nazism and we were number one. How many Europeans left for the US then and established the power houses there?

Meh, check before human global colonisation and the Africans were number one. How many Africans left for Europe then and established tribes and nations there?

Nonsense. What about the Greek, French and Chinese philosophers?

I am half German but was born in Guernsey the second largest channel island and the nazis occupied the Islands during WW2. The islands were not liberated until at least a month after the war finished so The nazis did actually have a very strong chance of getting to the UK due to the proximity of the Channel Islands to the mainland. I also believe Germans have a strong work ethic that has to be genetic due to never myself living in Germany but one of my better qualities is being hardworking.

Germany is a powerhouse and is definitely Europe's leader. It's economy is the largest in Europe and it has one of the best living qualities in the world.

If you think you have a genetic predisposition to being hard-working because you're half German, you're seriously retarded.

because of their Nordic origins that meant a focused hunter gatherer attitude was essential. And so with the right environment they can continue to develop this once "survival instinct"
