Summary: | The military defeat of Nazi Germany, followed by its subsequent occupation by Allied forces, was the sine qua non of democratic development in the Federal Republic. Germany’s economic recovery and the establishment of the German constitution helped provide order and stability—paving the path for legitimacy of the idea of a West German democracy. Within this context, how did West Germans come to terms with the past, and what role did this play in the democratization process?, Using Munich from 1945 to 1965 as a case study, Anthony Kauders explores how West Germans became liberal democrats. |
