After the unification of Germany in 1871, Germans enjoyed some of the perks of stronger well establish counties such that of France and Britain. So more then likely it was based on the new abundance of land.

at that time most families and communities were self sustaining, and the need to move outside of a village or farm/small holding was not there. only once there was industrialisation, starting primarily in uk with the industrial revolution, did large scale migration from rural areas into newly developing towns begin. this was to take advantage of jobs and to increase wealth etc. there wasnt transport available either so most people probably stayed very close to wherever it was they were born.

In Germany the Jewish population had the money and power being better business people.  The Germans were jealous and Hitler used this to gain power in a disgrunted country.  He then decided to creat an Aryan race of blonds with blue eyes - thats me dead then - and reportedly systematically murdered the Jews, homosexuals and cripples, and anyone else who disagreed with him

First of all it was not only Soviet Russia, but all the nations that lived at that moment in USSR. because all of them fought in that war.\nYou can simply compare how many people died in that war from each country. USSR never gave a trues estimation, the last number I hear was 26 million, though I might be wrong, but for sure not even today Russia is interested in giving the true figures. Why because too many people died during that war and they did not want to demoralize the population.\nIf it weren't for the Russian winters, and several great victories like at Stalingrad..., Germany would have one, the war.Russia was the only country on the European Continent that had still a lot of reserves, and was partially occupied by Germany and it could defeat Germany. The rest of the countries whether either completely occupied or where too far away from the continent.

If Germany had won the war the government of the criminal actions would have permeated throughout the world and have begun to plot against each other and eventually that government would have broken apart fighting itself.  Then somewhere a movement would have begun to grow supportive of individual rights and it would have consume the older government.  \n\nAlthough centralized government will come to the fore periodically, over time, that which is supportive of the individual will rise and win.

Not very long. The north was far more industrialized the the agrarian south. What the person above said is true as well.

It is because of the start of the cold war, Germany is not an occupied country at all, but feared after the war a reprisal invasion by Russia and as the West and East squared off Germany was used as a strategic front for the defence of the West incase there was ever an invasion from the Soviet Union.

They started off already from very different levels of industrialization and education of the population.\nGermany as one country just started to be (http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/germany/bismarck.html), Russia was an empire under the Tsar for a long time already.\n\nCheck your history books regarding WW I and the consequences.\nCheck your history books regarding the October Revolution.\n\nRussia lost most of its intelligentsia in the civil disorder following the October Revolution. Germany lost most of its intelligentsia at the end of WW II.\n\nBoth had to rebuild from scratch after WW II. The Soviet Union used material from Germany to kick start their industry after WW II.

The rise of nationalism.\n\nEurope avoided major wars in the 100 years before World War 1 began. In the 1800's, a force swept across the continent that helped bring about the Great War. The force was nationalism - the belief that loyalty to a person's nation and its political and economic goals comes before any other public loyalty. During the 1800's nationalism took hold among people who shared a common language, history, or culture. Such people began to view themselves as members a national group or nation. Nationalism led to the creation of two new powers - Italy and Germany - through the uniting of many small states. War had a major role in achieving nation unification in Italy and Germany. On the other hand, nationalism weakened the eastern European empires of Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Ottoman Turkey. Those empires ruled many national groups that clamored for independence. The Balkan Peninsula or the "Powder Keg of Europe" caused tensions and therefore threatened to ignite a major war. Rivalry for control of the Balkans added to the tensions that erupted into World War 1.\n\n\nA build-up of military might occurred among European countries before World War 1 broke out. Nationalism encouraged public support for military build-ups and for a country's use of force to achieve its goals. By the late 1800's, Germany had the best-trained army in the world. In 1898 Germany began developing a naval force that was big enough to challenge the British navy. In 1906, the British navy launched the Dreadnought, the first modern battleship. The Dreadnought had greater firepower that any other ship of its time. Germany rushed to construct on just like it. Advances in technology helped aid in making military forces stronger. Machine guns and other new arms fired more accurately and more rapidly than earlier weapons. By the end of the 1800's, technology enabled countries to fight longer and bear greater losses that ever before.\n\n\nA system of military alliances gave European powers a sense of security before World War 1. They formed these alliances with each other for protection and guarantee that other members of the alliance would come to the country's aid if attacked. Although alliances provided protection, the system also created certain dangers. If war came, the alliance system meant that a number of nations would fight, not only the two involved in a dispute. Alliances could force a country to go to war against a nation it had no quarrel with. In addition, the terms of many alliances were kept secret. The secrecy also increased the chances that a county might guess wrong about the consequences of its actions. The Triple Alliance was made up of 3 countries, Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. They all agreed to go to war if attacked by Russia. Bismarck also brought Austria-Hungary and Germany into alliance with Russia. The agreement was known as the Three Emperor's League and was formed in 1881. They all agreed to remain neutral if any of them went to war with another country. In 1890 when Bismarck left office it gave a chance for Russia and France to form an alliance. In 1894, France and Russia agreed to call up troops if any nation in the Triple Alliance mobilized. Russia and France also agreed to help each other if either were attacked be Germany. \n\nBeginning of the War\n\nOn June 28, 1914 a Serbian terrorist named Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Francis Ferdinand.  The Archduke's assassination triggered the outbreak of World War 1. On July 28 Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Because of Austria-Hungary's alliance with Germany, Serbia sought help from Russia. In 1914 Russia vowed to stand behind Serbia, but first Russia gained support from France. Germany declared war on Russia on Aug. 1, 1914, in response to Russia’s mobilization. Two days later Germany declared war on France. The German Army swept into Belgium on its way to France.
