Germany Exercise 1

Germany's new muscle. Stefan Wolff.
Foreign Policy Jan-Feb 2004 i140 p90(2) (741 words)


1. How did German reunification and the Nazi past affect German foreign policy until recently?




2. How did the 1999 Kosovo conflict increase Germany’s willingness to have an independent foreign policy?




3. How did Germany’s opposition to President Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq do likewise?




4. What are the characteristics of Germany’s "new foreign policy"?




5. World War II ended in 1945. Has enough time elapsed to assume that Germany has put its militaristic Nazi past behind it? Why or why not?
