While Germany is trying to strengthen its position as Europe's number one power it faces unexpected competition from France. According to a German study France may overtake Germany as Europe's most powerful economy, due to its current baby boom. Low birth rates has been a problem all over Europe for a while now, and if the French are able to turn the ongoing trend the country might become a strong opponent to German domination in Europe.
Still, the Germans have some time to respond to the French threat. It's not until 2025 that France is expected to have the strongest economy in Europe, and it's not until 2035 that it's estimated to have a bigger population than Germany.
