-	The '''history of Berlin''' starts with its foundation in the 13th century. It became the capital of the [[Margraviate of Brandenburg]] in 1417, and later of [[Brandenburg-Prussia]], and the [[Kingdom of Prussia]]. Prussia grew about rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries, and formed the basis of the [[German Empire]] in 1871, which survived until 1918, after the empire's defeat in [[World War I]].	+
-		+
-	After 1900 [[Berlin]] became a major world city, known for its leadership roles in science, the humanities, music, museums, higher education, government, diplomacy and military affairs. It also had a role in manufacturing and finance.	+
-		+
-	During World War II, bombing, artillery, and ferocious street-by-street fighting destroyed large parts of Berlin. Troops would also hide in buildings. Berlin was divided among the four major Allied powers. For over four decades, it encapsulated the [[Cold War]] confrontation between West and East. With the reunification of Germany in 1990, Berlin was restored as a capital and as a major world city.	+
