What's the difference between Germans and Germans?

The Germanic nation and the German nation are two different nations. But in Germany, the proportion of these two ethnic groups is very high.

The Germanic nation is an ancient nation, which is distributed all over Europe. The German nation is mainly concentrated in Germany and Austria.

German nation: The German nation is the main nation in Germany and Austria. According to records, the powerful semi-open Germans in northern Europe have begun to act as mercenaries for the Macedonian Greek Empire. During the Roman Empire, Germanic mercenaries were an important pillar to consolidate the empire.

Germans: Germans, together with Celts and Slavs, were called the three barbarians in Europe by the Romans during the Roman Empire, and they are also one of the representative nationalities in Europe today.

It is known that the word "Germanic" was first used by the Greek Bostoni, the Roman Tacitus said that the Celts called the people east of the Rhine "Germanic", and the Roman dictator Julius Caesar also mentioned Germanic in the Battle of Gaul.

There is no definite theory about the ethnic origin of Germanic peoples. It is said that the northern Europeans who used iron mixed with the people who used bronze wares and spoke Indo-European on the south bank of the Baltic Sea. In the late Bronze Age, these people lived in southern Sweden, the Danish Peninsula and the area between the Em River, the Oder River and the Harz Mountains in northern Germany.

The word "Germanic" was first used by the Greek historian Boshidoni. He first used this word about 80 years ago. Perhaps he heard this word when he was in contact with a small ethnic group in Central Europe, which cannot be verified today, and used it to address all Germanic peoples. It is possible that the name of such a small ethnic group later became the name of the whole ethnic group.
