How much do you know about German politics [and history]?

[MaxQue]

EASY:
1. Angela Merkel, CDU

2. 16. Smallest: Bremen. Largest: Rhineland-Westphalia.

3. Reichstag?

4. Adenauer (CDU), Schmidt (SDP), Brandt (SDP), Kohl (CDU), Schroder (SDP), Merkel (CDU). I forgot two, I know.

5. SDP, CDU, CSU, Die Linke, FDP, Greens - Alliance 90.

6. 1998-2005: SDP-Green
    2005-2009: CDU/CSU-SDP
    Since 2009: CDU/CSU-FDP
     
7. KPD (Communist), Zentrum, NDSAP (Nazis) and SDP.

8. Adenauer was the Chancellor of West Germany after WWII. CDU.
   Rosa Luxemburg was some Commie between the two wars which got killed.
   Hindenburg was a zeppelin who crashed in the US. In fact, he was the President during the 30's which was forced to give his power to Hitler.
   Goering (yes, ö=oe, no?) was some guy which was with Hitler in an important office. NDSAP.

9. Allied armies first entered German territory.

10. SDP?

11. Green = Green
     SDP = Red
     FDP = Yellow
     CDU = Black
     CSU = Blue
     Die Linke = Purple


INTERMEDIATE:
1. Rep and NDP? (your awful NDP, not to be confused with the fabulous Canadian NDP, which is more like your SDP)

2. FDP.

3. Upper house is designated by the lander governments. Lower house is elected by a two part vote. First vote is a FPTP vote, like in most English countries. Second vote is a list vote, you vote for a party, not a person. Seats are distributed among parties which got more than 5% of votes, to create proportionality. If needed, overhang mandates are created to achieve it.

4. No. One resigned and the new one sounds like an animal, but, I don't know.

5. Hamburg?

6. Schmidt?

7. There was elections under Empire? I'm shocked. I'll try Zentrum, SDP, DVP and KDP.

8. I don't know. Bebel rings me a bell, however.

9.  Kennedy said "Ich being am Berliner"? (sorry, I don't speak German).

10. CSU, Bavaria, 1981?

11. Adenauer?


HARD:
1. 1998, 2002 and 1972?

2. FPTP? Male Owners?

3. In Berlin, Mitte constituency, by Eva hyphenated name?

4. By the vote of the members of both houses of the Parliament. An absolute majority is needed for the two first rounds, relative majority is enough in the third. Vote is secret.

5. Kohl and Schmidt?

6. Bavaria, Bremen and Hamburg?

7. Danish, Bavarian and Swabian?

8. I don't know. Strasser rings a bell, but, no.

9. Kristallnacht, fall of the Berlin wall, some victory of Teutonic Knights in the Baltic area and abdication of Wilhelm after WWI?

10. I don't know. I was to say Koch for Hesse, but I think he left.

11. Otto van Bismarck
