An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured.
"Konrad Hermann Joseph Adenauer" was a German statesman. As the first post-war Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany/Chancellor of Germany (West Germany) from 1949 to 1963, he led his country from the ruins of World War II to a productive and prosperous nation that forged close relations with old enemy France, the United Kingdom and the United States. During his years in power Germany achieved democracy, stability, international respect and economic prosperity ("Wirtschaftswunder", German for "economic miracle"). He was the first leader of the Christian Democratic Union (Germany)/Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a Christian Democratic party that under his leadership became, and has since usually been one of the most powerful parties in the country.
