Germany plans military expansion to 255,000 by 2035, sparking debate over mandatory service amid low public willingness.
Germany plans to expand its military to 255,000 troops by 2035 amid rising security concerns, passing legislation requiring 18-year-olds to register military willingness and undergo potential physical exams—steps that may lead to reinstating mandatory service.
Despite this, only 18% of Germans are “definitely” willing to serve, reflecting deep-rooted antiwar sentiments tied to the country’s post-WWII identity and trauma from the Nazi era.
Protests, including school strikes, highlight a national divide between geopolitical necessity and pacifist values, as Germany struggles to balance its peace-oriented legacy with demands of a shifting security landscape.
