Bavaria was absent and the uprising was quickly suppressed. It would be interesting to say that Bavaria was dissatisfied with the rulers before and stood in a different team from other principalities, and now even with common enemies, Bavaria did not stand on the same front with other parts of Germany.

On the surface, Bavaria was afraid of peasant uprisings, and the cracks hidden behind it were already obvious, not to mention that all the princes had the right to decide their beliefs, and North and South Germany had already parted ways.

In the subsequent Thirty Years' War in 1618, the southern German state led by Bavaria stood on the side of the Catholicism and fought with the northern Protestant camp. The conflict between religions had evolved into a struggle for interests behind various countries. Germany, which was divided into two factions, was more about gaining interests for its own region.

Looking at the territory, the entire German region is like pizza cubes covered with cheese, which has split into many pieces, leaving only the name and the name of the "German King" with an empty name that sticks the parts together.

Judging from the location of the entire Europe, the German region is sandwiched between the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Alps, with flat terrain and rivers crisscrossing. Both transportation and infrastructure are extremely suitable for the development and growth of the empire.

Logically speaking, such a position should have stood out in history, but it was not a powerful country.

In 1867, Germany's unification took an important step. The North German Federation was established under the leadership of Prussia. William I became the German emperor and Bismarck became the prime minister.

At this time, the central and northern parts were completely unified, and in the south, four small states remained independent, including Bavaria.

Although it is independent on the surface, the small countries such as Bavaria are actually controlled by France. In other words, the four independent countries in the southern part of the German region were actually nothing more than puppet power controlled by French emperor Napoleon III, and they are not truly independent at all.

The goal of Napoleon III in his life was to recreate the glory of the Napoleon Empire. He actively launched foreign wars. Naturally, these German states that were already pro-France could not give up, while Bismarck devoted his life to completing the great cause of German unification.

One was an ambitious French emperor, and the other was a German "iron-blooded prime minister" who was determined to unify. The two strong forces fought against each other, and naturally, a French-Popular War broke out between the two to compete for hegemony on the European continent.

Napoleon III was full of ambitions and was originally full of confidence in winning the French-Prussian War, but the reality was very backbone: he was sang all the way by the new powerful Prussia and entered his old nest Paris. Napoleon III's ambition fire was instantly extinguished, and there was not even a spark left. He was forced to cede land and pay compensation, and his face was completely lost.

Not only did the entire southern German property return to its original owner, Prussia also demanded the cedent of Artsas and Lorraine to Germany, and France also had to compensate Germany 5 billion francs.

Since then, the entire German region was once again unified, forming the main territory of Germany today.

So it is not difficult to see that Bavaria has been closely separated from other parts of Germany in history.

In the 9th century AD, the Treaty of Verdun signed when the Carolingian dynasty of the Charles Empire was destroyed and the Bavarian region was included in Germany, so Bavaria belonged to Germany.

After that, all German unification rights retained Bavaria's autonomy.

In modern times, although Bavaria has become the territory of a unified Germany, its independent regional culture has remained deeply rooted for thousands of years.

Unlike East Germany and West Germany in World War II, and the United States' northern and southern federal states, Bavaria has been very different from other parts of Germany since the beginning. This has become one of the main factors in the Bavarian movement to get rid of the "Germany" and is also a lingering historical gene in Bavaria.

However, the current basic law in Germany does not allow a state to be independent, which stops the possibility of independence from the source, and Bavaria's tendency to independence can only be an emotion.

Of course, unless Bavaria really unites itself and makes independence through changes, that is another situation and is simply unrealistic.

From the baron's perspective, if Bavaria is independent, their family is likely to become the uncrowned king of a country, but whether or not they have the ability to keep it is another matter.

Bavaria has no estuary. Although there is an Alps as a barrier to the south, there is an endless flat road to the north. German tanks can drive in unscrupulously and directly smash the beautiful castles in Bavaria.

So I can only think about this kind of thing, it is too difficult to do it.

Now one-third of Bavarians have an independent tendency, but they still want to express their superiority from the outside world?

Which aspect of superiority? Of course, it is economic superiority!

Since Germany was reunified in 1871, although Bavaria has gained the greatest autonomy, the northern Protestantism and the southern Catholicism are incompatible, which has always been the case. The two world wars have made the contradictions more prominent.

World War I ended with the defeat of the allies led by Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Germany's defeat once made Bavaria's independence mood reach its peak. The defeated Germany faced serious punishment from the Allies, and Bavaria was not spared. More and more Bavarian nationalists doubted whether it was wise to join the German Empire at that time.

In 1918, the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed and Austria became a country dominated by Germans. Because it had the same ethnic and religious beliefs as Austria, Bavaria's hope to join Austria was heard.

At this moment, communist thought began to sweep across Europe, and Bavaria was once independent and established the short-lived "Bavarian Soviet Republic".

However, out of fear of communism, coupled with the great powers represented by Britain who did not want to over-weak Germany, Bavaria's hope of independence was still alive.

The punitive and harsh terms after World War I have caused revenge to spread over Germany, and the 1929 economic crisis severely hit Germany.

**Being promoted through elections has become Germany's largest darling, but it is an exception in Bavaria.

As the nationalist sentiment in Bavaria reached its peak after Germany's defeat in World War I, the Bavarian people were established with the purpose of promoting Bavarian independence. With overwhelming support from all over Germany, the support rate among Bavarian Catholics has always been lower than that of the Bavarian people.

With Germany's defeat in World War II determined, Bavarian nationalists actively sought support for Bavaria's independence.

However, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union led to the division of East and West Germany, and Bavarian independence would seriously weaken West Germany's capital against East Germany. Allies could not support Bavarian independence, but allowed Bavaria to have more autonomy in West Germany.

In order to fight against the Soviet Union and East Germany, the United States fully supported West Germany after the war, laying the foundation for the takeoff of the West Germany economy.

With the transfer of manufacturing, Bavaria also completed its economic transformation. Historically, Bavaria was located in inland mountainous areas, and its economy was mainly agriculture, and its economic development was not as good as that in the north, which was dominated by plains.

With the industrial transfer in Germany after World War II, a large number of high-tech and industrial enterprises chose to transfer to the south, and Bavaria became Germany's emerging industrial center and the most economically developed state.

In the 1990s, East Germany was incorporated into West Germany, and the unified "New Germany" stood in the territory of Europe, but the addition of East Germany made Germany face the trouble of increasing gap between the east and the west.

In order to promote the development of the East Germany region, ZF developed the eastern economy through fiscal transfer, policy support, capital investment and other means. By the 20th anniversary of the reunification of the two Germanys, about 1.4 trillion euros of funds poured into the eastern region.

The more honors there are, the more responsibilities you will bear. Bavaria, which has the second largest GDP in the country and the third largest per capita GDP, will naturally bear more important responsibilities.

However, the high taxes did not receive corresponding returns. Bavaria received much less federal grants than East Germany states. Germany's unreasonable distribution policy in China aroused the dissatisfaction of many Bavarians.

In addition, as the country with the strongest economic strength of the EU, Germany not only bears the heavy responsibility of aiding less developed countries, but also bears the heavy responsibility of helping countries with severe debt crises such as Greece to overcome difficulties during the European debt crisis.

As the wealth created flows into "poor places" and "poor countries", the dissatisfaction among Bavarian residents is increasing.

However, German law stipulates that any region does not have the right to be separated from federal independence, making it almost impossible for Bavaria to operate independently.

The rise in schizophrenia is more about venting dissatisfaction with the ZF policy and calling for reform, rather than really putting it into practical actions.

Of course, it cannot be denied that even if the Bavarians do not have the ability to really make independence, their basis for identifying themselves as Germans is "Bavarians first and Germans second".

Bavaria still emphasizes its differences from other regions of Germany. It has distinctive characteristics and uniqueness among the German states, and has always maintained its pride and pride for the local culture.

How similar is this to the Catalan region in Spain and the Scotland region in the United Kingdom?

Catalonia is located in northeastern Spain, bordering the Mediterranean and France. It has beautiful scenery and developed economy. Geographically, it naturally has the advantage of independence. This is much better than Bavaria. At least Catalonia has its own estuary. In other words, it has a way out. Unlike Bavaria, it really doesn't even have a deep space to retreat.

From a historical perspective, let alone the historical entanglements between the Catalan and Spain are much more complicated than those of Bavaria to Germany. Speaking of which, it is really an old lady's foot binding - it smells and long.
