After WWII the allies split Germany into 4 zones one occupied by France, one by GB, one by Russia and one by America. GB France and America implanted a capitalist democracy into their zones - these three zones (which were virtually borderless) became the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany). East Germany which was occupied by Russia became the German Democratic Republic and had a single party socialist government. Berlin, however, was split as well between the allies creating a small island of the FGR within the GDR. After this division of Germany the Cold War began and Germany became polarized. Since many Germans were unhappy with life in the East they moved into the FGR, this was called the "brain drain" since many intelligent individuals left the socialist area. Due to the brain drain and rising tensions between Russia and the US the Berlin Wall went up overnight and German citizens living in East Berlin were not allowed to travel to the west. Families were separated, and many people died in attempts to cross the boarder to the west.
