The Damage to Germany after World War Two and its Reconstruction

At least one country has to deal with the result of the destruction and destruction of Germany after the Second World War. Many countries had to face reconstruction because they suffered economically and physically after the Second World War. One of the countries is Germany. During the rebuilding of the country, many foreign workers (also called "Gastarbeiters") came to Germany due to the local labor shortage. After economic stability, Germany continues to import labor force rather than shifting industrial, capital and employment opportunities abroad to seek lower labor.

Because of the "cold war" between the two superpowers, German reconstruction after the Second World War was at risk. America dominates West Germany and the Soviet Union dominates East Germany. The Cold War triggered an economic war and when the US implemented financial reform, the Soviet Union responded immediately. They block all the connections of the land, block all other supplies, push the east into poverty and corruption while the western part of Germany caught up in economic reform and rebuilding. (McCauley, M, 1995, p. 97)

Twenty years after the end of the First World War, Germany could rebuild its economic and military forces and aim at weak neighbors. After the Second World War, the United States and its Western European countries decided to prevent Germany from regaining power. Under the blessing of their allies Britain, France and the United States will dominate their West Germany sector in a way designed to make Germany into poverty, the economy is weak and can not pose a threat. By March 1948, the Allies noticed their strategy was self-destructive. In Germany, broad-based poverty and oppressed citizens enabled the development of communism. UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg signed an alliance to cooperate to improve German economically, socially and culturally. These countries wish to establish economically stable West Germany with the cooperation of the United States.
