Relationship Between East and West Germany

The Cold War The period of conflict, tension and competition between United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies from the mid-1940's until the early 1990's. Both the US and the Soviet Union had been allied against Nazi Germany. During the Cold War the first major battle happened in Germany comprising of the US, France and Britain. They became the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the Soviet Union became the German Democratic Republic (East Germany)

Establishment of East and West Germany After the end of World War Two what territory remained of Nazi Germany was divided into four occupation zones each one controlled by one of the four occupying Allied powers: the Americans (yellow zone), British (Green zone), French (Blue Zone) and Soviets (Red Zone). It was planned that the occupying powers were to govern Germany together. However the tension of the Cold War caused the French, British and American zones to form the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) in 1947. The remaining Soviet zone then formed the Democratic Republic (East Germany including Berlin)

East's and West's Differences West Germany developed into a western capitalist country with a social market economy and a democratic parliamentary government. Continual economic growth starting in the 1950s felled a 30-year "economic miracle" Across the inner-German border, East Germany established an authoritarian government with a Soviet-style planned economy. While West Germany became rich, many East Germans wanted to move to West Germany. And some West Germans wanted to move to East Germany. The East Germans constructed the Berlin Wall to stop East Germans from fleeing. However, East German soldiers allowed West Berliners to cross into East Germany.

The Berlin Wall On 1 April, 1952, East German leaders met the Soviet leader Stalin in Moscow. Vyacheslav Molotov Stalin's foreign minister proposed that the East Germans should "introduce a system of passes for visits of West Berlin residents to the territory of East Berlin which they thought might stop free movement of Western agents" in the GDR (German Democratic Republic). Stalin agreed, calling the situation "intolerable". He advised the East Germans to build up their border defenses, telling them that "The demarcation line between East and West Germany should be considered a border – and not just any border, but a dangerous one. The Germans will guard the line of defense with their lives."

The relationship between East and West Germany was that of distance The relationship between East and West Germany was that of distance. Many people tried to leave East Germany, because of the large supplies of food and protection given by the West. However the people were barricaded in by the Berlin wall made by the Soviets. The idea of the wall showed the Soviets view of communism, the cold war and the power and control they had over the East Germans. Due to the Soviet’s communist establishment in East Germany, once the war was over and the Berlin wall came down, the East and west were still divided due to a lack of progression by East Germans.
