The origins of the Papiermark trace back to 1871 when the newly unified Germany began issuing centralized paper money, later playing a significant role until the hyperinflation of the early 1920s

When did Germany become a country, as we know it? When did it emerge in its present form?
Modern Germany's journey started with unification in 1871 under the German Empire. Its current democratic form began taking shape after WWII—West Germany was established in 1949, with reunification following in 1990
What was Germany before 1871? What country was it considered?
Before 1871, the territory was a collection of independent states and principalities, often under the loose structure of the Holy Roman Empire, rather than a single unified nation
What form of government was utilized when it was a bunch of independent states and principalities? Was it localized government?
The states mostly operated through localized governments where each ruler governed independently rather than under one centralized authority
