Geographically, Berlin was surrounded by the Soviet Zone. Each of the occupying powers - Britain, France, the USSR and the US - had a sector of Berlin. In 1948-49 Berlin in effect split into East and West Berlin. The city remained divided till the Fall of Wall in 1989.

Why was the Soviet War Memorial located in western Berlin during the cold war?

The Soviet War Memorial in western Berlin was built to honor the Soviet soldiers who died during World War II while liberating the city from Nazi control. Despite being located in the western sector, which was part of West Berlin, the memorial served as a symbol of Soviet sacrifice and a reminder of their role in the war. Its presence in the western zone highlighted the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War, as it represented the ongoing divide between East and West, and the Soviet Union's influence in post-war Germany.

What gains and losses did World War 2 have?

France did gain: Firstly, ex-colonies like Vietnam (Indo-China etc) Secondly, parts of Germany. (Germany was then divided into 4 zones and Berlin was again sub-divided into another 4 small zones. Each zone (regardless "Berlin sub-zone" or main 4 zones throughout the nation) was occupied by France, USA, Britain ,as known as :UK and USSR. Later (In 1946), USA,UK,France merged together to form West Germany , or Federal Republic of Germany because they wanted Germany to be economically strong.However, Russia (USSR) had lost about 20 million people in World War 2, definitely he (Stalin) hated Germany a lot. That's why he wanted Germany to be weak in all aspect just like France's revengeful idea after World War 1. Therefore, Stalin created the German Democratic Republic. Note: France had the smallest share of Germany occupied zone and it is located on the South-West part of the Germany. Also: "Berlin sub-zone" is mine term because this Berlin had divided into East and West Berlin where West Berlin had fully surrounded with East Berlin, East Germany. France wish to gain: Probably some cash for compensation for the war.
