Explanation
After World War II, the Federal Republic of Germany experienced strong economic growth, which led to labor shortages. In order to remedy this, the government concluded recruitment agreements with various countries in the 1950s and 1960s. These agreements made it possible for foreign workers to work in Germany on a temporary basis. The question refers to the first country of origin of these so-called guest workers.
