Germany has had a primarily capitalist economy since the nation's unification in 1871 and the prior German confederations were also predominantly capitalist, in terms of the national economic policy. Under the Nazis, Germany became a corporatist state as opposed to a capitalist one. This non-capitalist nature continued in East Germany, which after World War II, became a Communist State and remained so until unification with West Germany in 1990. West Germany (and now Germany) has consistently been a capitalist state since its formation after World War II.
