Berlin was divided into four sections after WW2, and occupied by military elements of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. As a result of the Cold war between the USSR and the West, the Soviet zone became East Berlin and the other three zones became West Berlin. The capital of West Germany was in Bonn. The city of West Berlin remained an exclave within Soviet-controlled East Germany until reunification of the country in 1990, after which the reunified Berlin again became the capital of Germany.
The city reunited and the Berlin wall was torn down.

==============

The reunification happened in 1989, long after the end of World War II. The end of the war in 1945 is when the city was first divided up. The city was split up into sectors under the jurisdiction of the Soviet Union, the United States, France, and Great Britain. In the following years, the U.S., French, and U.K. sectors essentially became one area, West Berlin, while the Soviets ran East Berlin. The Soviets built the wall to keep Germans in the East from going over to the West.
