After the German surrender on May 8, 1945, Germany was partitioned into four zones of occupationadministered by the victorious allies: France; the U.K.; The U.S.; and the Soviet Union.The occupation officially ended in 1949 with the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany ("West Germany") from the three western occupation zones, and the creation of the German Democratic Republic ("East Germany") from the Soviet occupation zone. This divided Germany was to last for more than 40 years.Berlin, deep inside East Germany, was further divided into western and eastern zones. After reunification in 1990 of all of Germany into the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin again became the capital.
Yes. At the end of the Second World War. Four Occupation Zones, each administered & occupied by: Soviet Union United States Great Britain France The Soviet Union occupation zone would become communist East Germany (DDR). The American, British & French zones would become free democratic West Germany (FRG). Also Berlin, Vienna, & Austria was divided into Occupation Zones.
Germany was partitioned for occupation at the end of World War II, in 1945, and US troops were still stationed there after 1949 as part of NATO. The US, English, French and Soviets occupied Germany in 4 separate zones after the surrender of Germany in May of 1945. The US English and French zones were combined in 1949 and became the Federal Republic, or "West Germany". The Soviet Union zone became "East Germany". The London and Paris Agreement of 1954 restored most of West Germany's sovereignty (with some exceptions.) The 4 powers (US, English, French and Soviets) still held control of Berlin (divided into West German and Soviet-controlled halves), and nominal control over the rest of Germany. This occupation and control of Germany did not technically end until the "Treaty on the Final Settlement With Respect to Germany" was signed in 1990. (This is commonly known as the "Two Plus Four Agreement") The "reunification" of Germany in 1990 was part of the collapse of the Soviet Union's satellite empire in Eastern Europe.

Many people move to Germany because their job takes them there, for example, some American John Deere employees move to Germany because projects take them there, and members of the U.S. military may live on American military bases if so assigned.
