Why did Walmart fail in Germany? The world's biggest retailer bought 95 stores, fought a price war against Aldi and Lidl, lost in Germany's top court, and left in 2006 with a bill of $1.071 billion just to exit. This documentary follows the paper trail: the cartel office order, the court rulings, the union fight, the company's own published losses, and one line in Walmart's tax filings that almost nobody mentions. Every number in this video is sourced. The full list is below the chapters. CHAPTERS 0:00 The government order to raise prices 0:54 The shopping spree: 95 stores 2:16 The smile (and why it was not the cause) 3:06 The price war with Aldi and Lidl 4:29 The court: why cheap was not the crime 6:30 The union and the dating rule 7:55 The exit: the books Walmart had to open 9:23 The bill: $1.071 billion to leave 9:57 The line almost nobody mentions 10:34 What really beat Walmart What it covers: why the "smiling greeters" story is real but not the cause, how German competition law blocked below-cost pricing, and why scale decided everything. Who it's for: anyone curious about why big companies fail abroad. What it assumes: nothing. No business background needed. This is a story about a company, not financial advice.
