The Z1 was the first programmable computer of German history. Although it was unreliable…

But what is the cause of aggression; is it instinct, the means of self defense, and sexual reproduction (Konrad Lorenz), or is it a trait learned through reinforcement and punishment (E.O Wilson)?

An exhibition at the German Historical Museum, displays the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany with the signature of Konrad Adenauer, ‘Der Parlamentarische Rat wollte alles vermeiden, was dem entstehenden Weststaat endgültigen Charakter geben könnte.’ In practice it made little difference to the situation in relation to the structure of the new state but it suggested that…

Jeffrey Herf’s book Divided Memory: The Nazi Past in the Two Germanys studies the distinct ways in which post-World War II German national political leaders in both the East and West were influenced by both their pre-war beliefs and post-war “political interests in domestic and international politics”. Herf specifically addresses four questions he wishes to find an answer to: why did German politicians place such prominence on to Nazi crimes in mainstream political rhetoric after 1945; why did…

established by the Treaty of Rome in 1958, Gaullist France remained implacably opposed to British membership in or association with the EEC because the French government would like to take a leading role among the EEC. Accordingly, de Gaulle and Adenauer, the Chancellor of West Germany, had several meeting in order to build cooperation relations with each other (Moravcsik 2002).
