Topic: WILL GERMANY RISE AGAIN: FOURTH REICH?

Koldun · July 15th, 2004

*shaking head* I doubt it...at least I don't see it happening in my lifetime. For there to be a "Fourth Reich", Germany would have to produce a charismatic figure who could lead the nation to achieve a level of political, economic, and military prominence within the European Union roughly equivalent to that of Russia in the former Soviet Union. Unfortuantely, the rise to power of such an individual, particularly a German national, would very likely be blocked by other member nations of the EU who would fear the ascension of a new Germany.

I'm not saying that it COULDN'T happen...just that I don't think it likely.
