Background Information
Early Germany was founded as a distinct region in Central Europe and could be traced back to a legendary Roman Commander, Julius Caesar who often referred to the unconquered area east of Rhine as Germania. Which distinguished it from Gaul (Modern-day France) that the Rome Empire conquered.
Germany’s victorious battle of the Teutoburg Forest prevented the Rome Empire from annexing their land. Although, Germania Superior & Germania Inferior was established along the Rhineland.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Franks conquered the West Germanic tribes. In 843, the Frank Empire was divided among Charles Martel’s heirs, the eastern part became East Francia.
Finally, Otto I became the first Holy Roman Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire to establish the medieval German State in 962 A.D.
