A region named Germania inhabited by Germanic people has been known and documented before 100 AD.

During the period, in the 16th century, the northern German regions became the center of the Protestant Reformation. As a modern nation-state, the country was first unified amidst the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. After World War II, Germany was divided into two separate states along the lines of allied occupation in 1949. It became reunified again in 1990.
