[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 574812, member: 7177"] I'm from Germany, and the cultural variations [i]within[/i] Germany itself can be vast. Naturally, there are historical reasons for this. Up until the middle of the 19th century, Germany was composed of more than a [i]hundred[/i] tiny kingdoms, baronies, and city-states. The borders shifted all the time. Vast regional differences in dialects exist. Today, Germany is composed of 16 [i]Länder[/i] or states, 4 1/2 of which were under communist rule until 13 years ago. And of course, Germany itself is changing all the time. The nation is still trying to recover from the shock of WWII. "Patriotism" is still considered a dirty word by many, many people, which is why the German army can't get enough people without resorting to drafting them (incidentally, I was drafted last Thursday... I'm currently home for the weekend). Near the end of WWII, millions of Germans (who had lived there for many generations) had to flee from former German territories or be raped and/or killed by the approaching Sovjet army. They settled all over the boundaries of the modern German nation. But that's not the last population change in Germany - since the 1950, millions of immigrants from Mediterranean nations have settled here and raised families. Today, more than threee million people of Turkish descent alone live in Germany. The USA doesn't have a monopoly on immigration, or diversity within it's borders. And Germany is changing itself all the time - but no one knows in what way the nation will change in the future... [/QUOTE]
