West German government

The West German government, officially known as the Federal Republic of Germany, was established in 1949 after World War II, reflecting Germany’s division into East and West. It operated as a democratic parliamentary system with a chancellor as the head of government and a president as the ceremonial head of state. The government was responsible for policymaking, economic management, and international relations, functioning under a constitution called the Basic Law. West Germany prioritized economic recovery, political stability, and integration with Western Europe and NATO, contrasting with East Germany's socialist system. It played a key role in rebuilding a democratic, prosperous nation.
