John Edison states in his orientation of The Culture of Germany: “The name Germania derives from the Latin word Germania, which, at the time of the Gallic War (58–51 BC), was used by the Romans to designate various peoples who occupied the region east of the Rhine". (Edison) The Romans designated the word German from the Latin Germania for all the people who lived there. Any person who did not speak Latin or Roman was also Deutschland, which comes from the Germanic language meaning people. The word deutsch serves to mark a difference in speech. Today's Germany is a country of unlimited resources and lifestyles reflect this. Their government, political views and relations with NATO continue to grow. Germany's ability to rebuild itself after battles and agricultural problems over the years is a cause for wonder.
