Germany later became our leading trading partner, buying and exporting Liberian agricultural produce to Europe and elsewhere. By the 1940s there was a German Legation in Monrovia, situated on Capitol Hill, where the University of Liberia’s main campus is located. At that point, too, most of the medical doctors in the country were German. Unfortunately, Hitler, the Nazi German Chancellor, in the late 1930s started World War II, leading Liberia, following the United States, to declare war on Germany in 1945. The Germans had to leave Liberia, plunging the nation into great financial and medical difficulty. liberianobserver/editorials/what-can-liberia-learn-germany%E2%80%99s-world-cup-victory
