After World War II, the Soviets established the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) in their occupied zone. They implemented a socialist regime, nationalized industries, and collectivized agriculture, leading to significant political repression and economic challenges. The government was characterized by a single-party system under the Socialist Unity Party, and it built the Berlin Wall in 1961 to prevent mass emigration to West Germany. This regime remained in place until the fall of communism in 1989.
