History
Pre-First Scinfaxi War
Evidence of human habitation in what was once Germany on Earth had been dated to over 1.3 million years ago, with various tribes inhabiting it from the Neolithic onward. Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany since classical antiquity. Through the conquests of Charlemagne, large parts of present-day Germany were combined into one territory for the first time around 800. In 962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the center of the Protestant Reformation. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation was formed in 1815. After the failed March Revolution of 1848, formal unification of Germany into the modern nation-state commenced on 18 August 1866 with the North German Confederation Treaty establishing the Prussia-led North German Confederation later transformed in 1871 into the German Empire. After the Great War and the German Revolution of 1918–1919, the Empire was in turn transformed into the Weimar Republic. The rise of the NSDAP to power in 1933 led to the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship.
