A woman's fertile days depend on the life span of the egg and the sperm. Her egg only lives for about a day after ovulation. Sperm can live inside her body for about six days. The egg and sperm are most likely to join when intercourse happens during the five days before the egg is released or on the day of ovulation. It is also possible for a day or two after ovulation â even though it's less likely to happen then.
The unification of Germany officially took place on January 18, 1871. At that point, the Germanic states became the German Reich, which means German Empire. Shortly after the unification of Germany, Germany annexed the iron-rich French region of Alsace-Lorraine.
Most of Germany is on the east side of the Rhine River. A small part of Germany is west of the Rhine, and is called the Rhineland. The Rhineland is on the same side of the Riv â¦ er as France, which was why the French wanted it demilitarized after WWI. If the Germans were forbidden by the Peace Treaty to have military units stationed in the Rhineland, it would be harder for Germany to invade France again. 15 people found this useful.
