Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. All these 4 countries speak German as their first and official language. they are bordering each other. They once used to be one country, yet they are divided. Always thought about that..

Taranis said:Then, after also annexing the German-speaking parts of Bohemia (the so-called "Sudetenland"), Hitler started World War II by invading Poland.
Between annexing Sudetenland (October 1938) and invading Poland (1 September 1939) he also occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia (15 March 1939) creating the Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia and the Puppet-State of Axis Slovakia, annexed Klaipeda from Lithuania (23 March 1939) and started to demand the revision of borders with Poland and the annexation of Free City Danzig (April 1939). All of those were blatant violations of the Munich Agreement from 1938 in which Hitler had promised that after getting Sudetenland he was not going to advance any further territorial demands.
Not to mention the Stalin-Hitler Pact (23 August 1939) in which Eastern Europe was de facto partitioned between Germany and the Soviet Union, just like Spain and Portugal had once partitioned America at Tordesillas in 1494.
German is the first language for the greater majority of the Swiss people. Besides, they speak german in the national parliament, don't they? I don't think having regional languages other than german would prevent them from joining Germany. In Canada there are 2 official languages and many other recognized languages.History happened?
First, Switzerland has not one official language but four (in addition to German, it has French, Italian and Romansh).

Why are you so keen on German speakers unification, but don't mention other language unifications like Great Union of Spanish speakers in South and Central America for example?Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Austria was ruled by the Habsburgers. I don't know how they got in power there.
Flanders was at some point inherited by another branch of Habsburgers.
As a matter of fact, I thought about that, too. We could certainly discuss that in another thread..Why are you so keen on German speakers unification, but don't mention other language unifications like Great Union of Spanish speakers in South and Central America for example?
