East Germany, officially known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was occupied by the Soviet Union after World War II. Following the war, the country was established in 1949 as a socialist state under Soviet influence, while West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) was aligned with the Western powers. The GDR remained under Soviet control until the end of the Cold War in 1989, leading to the eventual reunification of Germany in 1990.
