This meaning that all conflicts between fellow Germans would be put aside, and that all Germans will come together as one and unite in pursuit of defending their country. As most Germans were anticipating a quick victory, they soon discovered that it wouldn’t be that easy for them to win. In 1914 at the beginning of WWI the civil peace policy was…

Discrimination of immigrants in Germany stems from a previously homogeneous society, which has led to tension between the state…
