Because they saw Germany as a threat to not only Soviet interests in the region of Eastern Europe, but also to the Union itself. West Germany was the strongest economic partner in the EU prior to reunification, with unification, not only does the USSR loses a puppet state an a buffer between Germany, it gives Germany access to land closer to the USSR and also to a pool of workers in the East, and a much more powerful Germany once united. This challenged the balance of power on which the european powers had played on for centuries. the unification would also mean that the Soviets could not prevent it from happening, which in turn would lead to other satellite governments overthrowing soviet rule.
We did not want Germany, Japan, Italy, or the USSR to know we were working on it.
Because Britain and France were practicing Appeasement and didnt want to start a war with germany so they gave sudentenland(half of czechoslovakia)
The US may have looked like a "paper tiger' to the world after Vietnam...but the communists (USSR & Red China) didn't want to "push their luck."
Germany was controlled by Germany during the war after Germany surrendered the allies which were US Britian USSR and France divided control of the country at the Potsdam Conference Aug. 1945 You might say that Germany was the spoils of war, "To the victors go the spoils". But there were no leaders there to take control the country was broke the industries had been bombed out someone had to take control and the US did not want Russia to have all of Germany, Russia did not want Britian to have complete control, US and Britian did not want France to have control Germany had too much resources to let just one country have it all so they divided it up.
They didn't. By the time the USSR finished fighting Germany (by themselves because Churchill and FDR didn't want to help), the US had been fighting Japan for a while. The USSR did declare war on Japan after the Germans surrendered. Before the USSR could do anything, the US dropped it's two atomic bombs. The Japanese were rumored to have started peace negotiations with the USSR agreeing to act as the liason after the Little Boy bombing, but the Fat Man prevented it. Many say the US bombed Japan because they didn't want the USSR sweeping in as the hero.

There are two major reasons for this. (1) A unified Germany would be an economic powerhouse that would be a threat to Russia and (2) a united Germany would be a non-communist state and therefore align with the West in the Cold War.
