NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Time magazine named German Chancellor Angela Merkel its 2015 person of the year Wednesday, the first woman to hold the title in 29 years.
Since 1927, the magazine has chosen to honor the one person who has most affected world events, for better or worse. Merkel, 61, was cited for her involvement in Europe's handling of migration issues, and of the Greek debt.
