What was the Trizonia conference?
There was not a Trizonia conference. The Trizoniawas the name of a post WWII area of Germany, which was eventually occupied by the UK, the US, and France. During the Potsdam or Berlin Conference, the Bizonia (an area of Germany, occupied by the US and the UK, military) was zoned, and then rezoned to include France's military, hence the name "Trizonia".The occupation was primarily in what later became West Germany, and lasted from 1945 (after Nazi Germany was defeated by the Allied powers.) through 1949.There were three important conferences, which took place between the leaders of the US, the UK, and the Soviet Union, (the "Big Three") (Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin.) between 1943 and 1945.The Tehran conference took place during WWII, in 1943. After Nazi Germany was defeated, the Yalta conference took place, in February of 1945. The last of the three conferences was the Potsdam Conference or the Berlin Conference, which took place approximately 5 months after the Yalta Conference. During the Potsdam conference, the Trizonia area, was created as a result of post war zoning.The purpose of the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, was to decide where post war zoning, mainly in Germany, Poland and Eastern Europe, would be drawn and set.it is the Bi zone, or Bizonia, was the combination of the American and the British occupation zones during the occupation of Germany after World War II.
What were the causes of the Berlin blockade?
America and Russia both had different views on what to do with the divided Germany in 1948. Stalin and the Soviets wanted to destroy Germany, stripping its wealth and power so it was no longer a threat to them. On the other side, the USA and Britain wanted to re-build Germany, building them up financially to make a new trading partner. There are 3 events that led to Stalin blockading Berlin and they were: -On January 1947, America and Britain joined their two zones of the divided Germany creating a new zone which they called Bizonia. This angered the Russians as they realised the British and Americans were beginning to create a new, stronger Germany. -On the 31stMarch 1948, the Americans voted for the Marshall Plan (the Americans would donate huge sums of money to struggling European countries to aid them and hopefully turn them capitalists) . This too angered Stalin, the leader of Russia, as he saw it as an attempt to weaken Russian influence on eastern Europe. Because of these the Russians began stopping and searching all road and rail traffic into Berlin as a warning to the Americans. -And finally on June 1st, America and Britain announced they wanted to create West Germany as a new country and so introduce a new currency into Bizonia. The people of East Germany and Europe began to change all their money for the new currency of West Germany, believing it to be worth more. The next day, Stalin completely cut off all road, rail and water routes to Berlin.
Who took control of Germany after World War 2?
Post WW2 German GovernmentSoon after the German surrender the Allies (British, Americans, Soviets and later also the French) they set up a provisional government for the occupation. Maybe someone has more to add?AnswerEach of the occupying powers adminstered its own zone. There was no central government for Germany as a whole. Gradually, the Germans were allowed to hold local elections at various levels. In January 1947 the British and American zones merged for many purposes ('Bizonia') and formed the basis for the future Federal Republic of Germany. (The French zone was added to this in 1948). Key steps included the election of legislatures in the various Western states and the drawing up of a new constitution. The Cold War speeded up many of these developments, and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) were formed in 1949. Initially, the occupying powers still retained the right to intervene.
