Germany was divided into West Germany and East Germany (1949-1990) by the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall split the capital of Berlin and separated the democrats (West Germany) from the communists (East Germany). It was built by the Soviets, who occupied East Germany, to prevent East Germans from migrating to West Germany and further into Western Europe.
