∙ 9y agoOriginally there was one Germany. After the WWII the country was divided into two parts. The western part was called Federal Republic of Germany and went on the capitalist way. The eastern part was 'occupied' by the Soviet Red Army and 'liberated' by them from the Nazis. Consequently the Soviets built (started with socialism) this part into a Communist country. It was called the German Democratic Republic. In 1989 the two parts were united again.
