CLEP Western Civ II

Category - WWII

The German Federalist Republic was one of the strongest economic powers in Europe by 1975 due to which of the following?
  1. The inability to trade developed self-sufficiency
  2. The impact of colonial war on French and British economies
  3. Several extensions of the Marshall Plan
  4. The accomplishment of its imperialist aims
  5. The rebuilding of industry and the pragmatism of the workers
Explanation
Answer: E - Post-war West Germany benefitted enormously from the rebuilding of industry and the willingness of German workers to accept small gains. Thus, there was little agitation from labor during this period. Germany also invested widely and softened relations with Eastern Europe. The rebuilding of Germany was known as the "German Miracle," and Germany adeptly negotiated the economic uncertainty of the late 20th century better than many European nations.
