The German Soviet Socialist Republic (German: Deutsche Sozialistische Sowjetrepublik; Russian: Германская Советская Социалистическая Республика), abbreviated as the German SSR, GerSSR and also known as Soviet Germany or just Germany, is one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union. Under the Soviet one-party model it is governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union through it's republican branch, the Communist Party of Germany. Germany lies between the Baltic and North Sea to the north and the Alps to the south. Its 16 constituent oblasts have a total population of over 84 million in an area of 357,600 km2 (138,100 sq mi). It borders Denmark to the north, the Polish SSR and the Czechoslovakian SSR to the east, the Austrian SSR and Switzerland to the south, and France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands to the west. The nation's capital and most populous city is Berlin.

Settlement in what is now Germany began in the Lower Paleolithic, with various tribes inhabiting it from the Neolithic onward, chiefly the Celts. Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before AD 100. In 962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation was formed in 1815.

Formal unification of Germany into the modern nation-state commenced on 18 August 1866 with the North German Confederation Treaty establishing the Prussia-led North German Confederation later transformed in 1871 into the German Empire. After World War I and the German Revolution of 1918–1919, the Empire was in turn transformed into the Weimar Republic. The Nazi seizure of power in 1933 led to the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship, World War II, and the Holocaust. After the end of World War II in Europe and a period of Allied occupation, in 1949, Germany as a whole was organized into two separate polities with limited sovereignty: the Federal Republic of Germany, generally known as West Germany, and the German Democratic Republic, known as East Germany, while Berlin continued its de jure Four Power status. The Federal Republic of Germany was a founding member of the European Economic Community and the European Union, while the German Democratic Republic was a communist Eastern Bloc state and member of the Warsaw Pact.
