Answer 1

Germany was divided into eastern and western halves with a wall separating the two sides. Germany was also heavily affected by the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, as the country became a key battleground in the ideological and political struggle of the Cold War. The division of Germany was symbolized by the Berlin Wall, which separated East Germany (under Soviet influence) from West Germany (under Western influence). This division lasted for nearly 40 years until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the subsequent reunification of Germany in 1990. During this time, Germany experienced social, economic, and political consequences as a result of the Cold War.
