"Germany is an economic giant but a political midget, and with the end of the Cold War she has started to muscle her presence throughout Europe and the world"
- Christo
About this Quote
This quote by Christo suggests that Germany is a powerful financial force, but does not have political influence. This is likely due to the truth that Germany was divided into East and West throughout the Cold War, and only reunited in 1990. Ever since, Germany has actually had the ability to use its economic power to increase its existence in Europe and the world. This is evidenced by Germany's function in the European Union, its participation in worldwide trade contracts, and its increased diplomatic presence in other nations. Germany's financial power has permitted it to become a major gamer in the worldwide economy, and its political impact is gradually increasing too. This quote highlights the value of economic power in the modern-day world, and how it can be utilized to increase a nation's political influence.
This quote is written / told by Christo somewhere between June 13, 1935 and today. He/she was a famous Artist from Bulgaria.
