World War II Worries
World War II lasted until 1945, when the Axis Powers, who was created by Germany, Italy, and Japan, then later joined by Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia in 1940, surrendered. The Allies, who had with them the US, Britan, USSR, Australia, Canada, and many more, accepted the surrender about a week after Adolf Hitler took his own life.

Stasi Scares
The Stasi broke apart in 1990. By then, the Stasi had 500,000-2,000,000 collaborators and 100,000 brainwashed employees, starting from the age of 18. When they split, people were permitted to see their own files. I couldn't imagine all the things that were in those files.
The Fall
The Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989. Millions of people watched it on television, and thousands were there. It was a glorious day for Berlin and the world. The families that were split were united. Friends that hadn't seen each other in decades were together again. Berlin was officially a whole again. Chanting, screaming, it was beautiful.
The Rule of the Fürher
Hitler believed that everyone who did not believe what he believed in like Jews and anyone who was of any other race should be exterminated, in Germany (and everywhere). To do this, shortly after he became chancellor, he opened the first concentration camp, Dachau, where he would kidnap Jews and send them to a concentration camp, where they would starve, work, and potentially die. There were more that were open as Hitler became more powerful.
