When happened to Germany after world war 2?

Answer 1

It was divided into four parts, each controlled by one of the major Allied Powers - US, France, UK, and the USSR. The same was applied to Berlin, which was in the USSR part of Germany. The British, French, and American parts of Germany (and Berlin) were democracies, while the USSR controlled parts were socialist governments modeled after the USSR's own, with the Communist Party in charge.

Eventually, the British, French, and American-controlled parts would merge, dividing Germany into East Germany and West Germany, with East Berlin and West Berlin. The Eastern parts of both plummeted into poverty, and the effects can still be seen in modern Germany.

The USSR, at one point, closed off all means of trade between West Berlin and West Germany/the Allies, causing the Berling Airlift, in which the US (as well as Britain and France) dropped supplies into the city using planes.
