Detailed Solution

Marianne was the symbol of the nation of France.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, historians developed a method for personifying a country. In other words, they acted as if the nation were a person. The countries were depicted as feminine characters. These numbers have nothing to do with actual women. The concepts of Liberty, Justice, and Republic were represented by specific objects or symbols, such as the red cap or broken chair for Liberty, the blindfolded woman holding scales for Justice, etc. Marianne's traits—the red cap, the tricolour, and the cockade—were inspired by Liberty and Republic. She served as France's national emblem. She went on to represent togetherness in the country.
Similarly, Germania came to represent and personify German nationalism. She is crowned with oak leaves because the oak represents bravery. She is dressed in a black, crimson, and gold drape. She is wielding the "Jesus," Charlemagne's sword in her right hand. She is shown holding the black, white, and crimson flag of the German Empire in depictions made after 1871.
