Germany was divided after World War II primarily due to geopolitical tensions between the Allied powers. The country was split into four occupation zones controlled by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union. As ideological differences escalated, particularly between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, this division solidified into two separate states: West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) and East Germany (German Democratic Republic) in 1949. The divide reflected the broader Cold War conflict between capitalism and communism.
