| Research Abstract |
With the fall of Nazi regime and the end of the World War II it began in Germany the political and economic reform under the military occupation of Allies and Soviet Russia. In western Germany the political and economic systems in the time of Nazi were forced by Allied to be abolished : Denazification, demilitalisation, democratisation and decartellisation (four Ds). Though the reform plansof H.D. White and Mogenthan, including the dismemberment of Germany, the destruction of all German heavy industry and the breakup of the large landed estates, to reduce Germany to an agricultural state, were not realized, the large land ownership in east Germany, where the conservation and traditionalism had been strong, was abolished and in western Germany the allies forced the big industrial concerns in chemical industry and montane industry to be liquidated. Though thes e existed many big enterprises, the anti-monopole legislation, which was characteristic in America, was introduced in Germany, which was supported by small and mediumsized enterprises and the liberal economist (Ordo).
