Angela Merkel,
German Chancellor has not only wowed the world but Time magazine this
year after her decision to open the country's boarders to refugees.
Merkel, 61, has been named the 'Person of the Year'
by Time magazine. Throughout 2015, Merkel stepped into various
challenging situations across Europe, including throughout the ongoing
crisis in Ukraine, during Greece’s financial meltdown and after a deadly
series of coordinated attacks in Paris.
Merkel
agreed to bailing Greece of it's financial crisis on her strict terms.
German would welcome refugees as casualities of a radical Islamist
savagery, not carriers of it. And it would deploy troops abroad in the
fight against ISIS.
Merkel
became the first female chancellor of Germany when she assumed the
position in November 2005. She is the first individual woman to receive
"Person of the Year" since the magazine changed its title from "Man of
the Year" in 1999, and is the fourth woman to receive the magazine’s
year-end honor since 1927. Before 1999 four women were named as "Woman
of the Year:” Wallis Simpson (1936); Soong Mei-ling (1937); Queen Elizabeth II(952); Corazon Aquino (1986).
