I have a doubt with common and proper nouns
Is "German history" a proper noun or they are 2 separated nouns?thanks

History is the noun. German is the adjective. Mind you, as Late says, you should have posted your question as "Spanish history".
Tricky question! ... In what language?
On a Spanish themed website, in English, you are asking about German history.
You have the English correct, as a nationality German is capitalized, and history is a common noun.
In Spanish, neither German - alemán nor history - historia would be capitalized.
In German, the noun history - Geschicte, would be capitalized. Die deutsche Geschicte.
Unless, of course, any of them are at the beginning of a sentence ...
Rats Thank you Eddy, I was responding to the caption - or title rather than the question!
No, they are not 2 nouns, German, alemán, or deutsch describe the only noun, history.
