Which country was divided into east and west between 1940s and 1990s?

Germany was divided into East and West from the late 1940s until reunification in 1990. After World War II, the country was split into East Germany (the German Democratic Republic), aligned with the Soviet Union, and West Germany (the Federal Republic of Germany), aligned with the Western powers. This division symbolized the broader ideological conflict of the Cold War. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked a significant step toward reunification, which was officially completed in October 1990.

Why did the east built the Berlin wall?

Anyone who had skills that could be sold in the West, like doctors and engineers, were defecting from East Germany to West Germany. (Oh yeah...they forgot to tell you. The East Germans built another "wall" - well, fence - along the border between East and West Germany.) The Soviets told East German dictator Walter Ulbricht to think of a way to stop the defections from happening, and Ulbricht decided to build a wall all the way around West Berlin.

On a positive note, the standard of living for the former eastern half rose exponentially in the years following reunification.
