Sign in to saveAlso known as German Reich
post-World War II Allied military occupation of Germany (1945–1949)
After Germany's defeat in World War II, the Allied powers (the United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France) jointly occupied and governed German territory from 1945 to 1949 to disarm the country, prosecute Nazi leaders, and establish new governmental structures. This occupation was a crucial period that shaped Germany's division into East and West, influenced Cold War tensions, and ultimately led to the creation of two separate German states.
