It wasn’t a nation but a city and that was Berlin, Germany. That created two separate Germany’s one called East Germany controlled by Russia and west Germany controlled by the western nations.
There were 4 zones in Germany when the Allies occupied Germany. The Eastern Zone was occupied by Russia. It the Southern Zone was the US, in the Northen Zone was France and the western zone had Britain.
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.
The main constituents were Britain and her empire which declared war Sept 1939(Australia, New Zealand, India, Jamaica etc), France (although France had a puppet government in place by the Nazis for most of the conflict), Russia and America. Many other countries (Canada, Korea etc) were aggressed or sent troops on the allied side but the dominance of the big 4 was illustrated when Berlin was split into 4 zones when the Nazis capitulated, one zone administered by each country. ----- By name, the Allies included: The U.S.A., U.S.S.R., the U.K. and the British Empire (including practically all countries now a part of the British Commonwealth of Nations), France and her possessions, Belgium, The Netherlands and the Dutch Empire (e.g. Malaysia), China, Denmark, Norway, Thailand, plus almost two dozen other counties by 1942. Later in the war, it included many former Axis countries: Bulgaria, Romania and Italy, to name several.

It was divided into 4 parts: USA, USSR, France and GBR (England) with the goal being for these countries to help rebuild Germany after WW2. But France and Britain needed to rebuild their own countries so Germany was split into just US (west) and USSR (east) and would eventually lead to the building of the Berlin Wall (c. 1961)
