#29 Friedemann – Independence Movements – (Intermediate)

It has always struck me that after the 2nd world war we have never seen any movement in Germany for regions to seek independence and break away from our country. This is in sharp contrast to many other regions in the world today. In this podcast me and my father discuss the reasons behind independence movements in the world and the absence thereof in our country.(Ich fand es immer erstaunlich, dass es in Deutschland zumindest nach dem 2. Weltkrieg keine ernsthaften Bestrebungen nach Unabhängigkeit von einzelnen Regionen in Deutschland gegeben hat. In diesem Beitrag diskutieren ich und mein Vater die Ursachen für die vielen Unabhängigkeitsbestrebungen in vielen Ländern der Welt und die Gründe, warum wir diese Tendenzen in Deutschland gerade nicht beobachten.)
