Following Germany's defeat in World War II, the country was divided into four zones that were run by the Allied nations: Britain, France, America, and the U.S.S.R. ( Its capital city, Berlin, was divided into 4 sectors that were run by the Allies).

Germany was divided into 4 occupation zones by the victorious Allied Powers which were the United States, the USSR, Britain and France. The division was formalized at the Potsdam Conference (July 17-August 2, 1945). The purpose of this division was to implement the decisions made at the conference in Yalta on Feb 4 - 11 1945. These decisions were to divide Germany into 4 occupational zones under a unified control commission. Each country would control a part of Germany until its sovereignty was restored. They wanted to make sure that the Nazi party would not regain control and reestablish their military.
