The decision to divide Germany into four zones of occupation was made by the Allies (United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France) at the end of World War II. It was primarily done to prevent Germany from becoming a unified and potentially powerful country that could pose a threat to European security, as it had done in the past. Additionally, the division allowed the Allies to maintain control and oversee the process of denazification and reconstruction in Germany.
World war 1 unfolded into World War two, after the allies created the Versailles Treaty, and made Germany pay over $20,000,000.00 in reparations to the allies, and were forced to divide their land. Germany was angered, so they found a new leader, Adolf Hitler, and they thought that he could bring their country back to glory. I hope this is what you were looking for!
The city of Berlin, Germany was the site of the Berlin Conference from November, 1884 to February, 1885, during which European countries negotiated colonial boundaries and trade during the "Scramble for Africa" (New Imperialism) that began around 1880.
At the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 the European nations decided on how they would divide up the ownership of Central Africa to avoid fighting over it. The conference didn't actually approve the territorial claims of the European nations, but they did agree on a set of rules to avoid conflict in partitioning of the region.
