After World War II the victorious allies were these four countries: Soviet Union, United Kingdom, United States, and France. They occupied and administered Germany together for a little while, until 1947 when the Soviet Union did not partake in a major currency reform proposed by the UK, US, and France. The Soviet Union was a Stalinist communist government at the time, the other three allied countries were democratic and capitalist. The Soviet Union administered East Germany (known as "GDR"), the other three allies each administered areas that would become West Germany (known as "BRD").

Germany divided into East and West following World War II due to the agreements made at the Yalta and Potsdam conferences by the Allied powers. The division was intended to prevent Germany from engaging in future wars and to establish democratic institutions in the Western part, while the Eastern part fell under Soviet influence and became a communist state.
