What two states did Germany split into during the split in 1949?
This event stems entirely from the bloodiest war of the last century. We are talking about the 2nd World War. It resulted in the complete defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis countries in general. As the advancing Allied forces approached Berlin, a competitive moment came. Each side wanted to be the first to enter there. In addition, there was a hunt for German scientists and technology. There was a question of prestige. And many wanted to get even with the enemy in this enclave. Berlin and all of Germany were taken. The territories were divided into zones of influence. But after the end of the war, relations between the former allies began to deteriorate. The USSR and its Western allies had too different ideologies at the state level. Everyone was ambitious. In 1949, all this resulted in the formation of the GDR under the full influence of the USSR and the FRG, which became a capitalist state. Berlin was divided by a wall.
