The Soviet Union (USSR) divided Poland with Germany.
During the cold war era each European country was classified as part of either Free Western Europe, or of Communist Eastern Europe which was mostly dominated by the Soviet Union until the Soviet Union broke up.
The eastern half of the country, which was occupied by Soviet forces, became the communist republic of East Germany, while the Allied zones formed West Germany. The city of Berlin was likewise divided, although it was well inside East Germany, and the capital of West Germany became Bonn. Germany was reunified (during the breakup of the Soviet Union) in 1990.
