If you mean the division of the country that occured in 1945: \nGerman territory was occupied and annexed by Poland and the Soviet Union, and this reduced Germany's land territory drastically. Important German cities, including Breslau (now Wrocław), Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), and Memel (now Klaipėda) de facto became part of different countries (Poland, Russia and Lithuania, respectively), although the legal situation remained unclear until the end of the Cold War. Their German inhabitants were expelled to western Germany and replaced by ethnic settlers from other countries. To this day, they are not part of Germany. All major and many smaller German cities lay in ruins. Germany and Berlin were occupied and partitioned by the Allies into four military occupation zones – French in the south-west, British in the north-west, American in the south-east, and Soviet in the north-east.

The Britsh public thought the treaty was extremly harsh. Even Llyold George (the british delegate who signed the treaty) thought it was harsh. He wanted a more fairer treaty but it was put more in favor of want France (Clemenceau) wanted.\nThe Germans thought it was too harsh escpecially the war guilt clause and the reperations which they would have had to pay until the 1980s. The diasarmament causes were seen as unfair because it was more of a right that Germany had an army since every other country did. Also the Rhineland was German land and it was seen as unfair that Germany could not occupy its own land. For these reasons Hitler tried to over turn the treaty.

It is because of the start of the cold war, Germany is not an occupied country at all, but feared after the war a reprisal invasion by Russia and as the West and East squared off Germany was used as a strategic front for the defence of the West incase there was ever an invasion from the Soviet Union.

WW1 ended with the Treaty of Versailles.  The terms of the Treaty imposed harsh conditions on Germany.  Germany could not have a standing army, land was taken from Germany and the German nation was forced to pay huge sums in reparations.  The enconomy was experience hyperinflation.  This is where the money loses its value, almost to the point of being worthless.  People would ask to be paid at noon so they could run out and spend it---because by the end of the day their pay would only be worth half as much.  There are pictures of men pushing wheelbarrows FULL of German money down the street.\n\nHitler was a WW1 hero.  He saw the problems that Germany was facing under the unjust terms of the Versailles treaty.  He saw the wreck the economy was in.  There were no jobs for German citizens in the private sector, so Hitler created huge government projects that employed millions of Germans.  As the people went back to work, their apathy dissipated.  Hitler gained even more power, and in time was able to repudiate the Versailles Treaty and raise an army.\n\nthis is just the tip of the iceberg.  Read and study more about pre-WWII Germany.

No it was not.  It singled out Germany for punitive measures and not the Austro-Hungarian Empire for such measures.  It so financially was hard for Germany and led to WWII.

When a government statement that crossing of the border would be permitted was broadcast on November 9, 1989, masses of East Germans approached and then crossed the wall, and were joined by crowds of West Germans in a celebratory atmosphere. The Wall was subsequently destroyed by a jubilant public over a period of several weeks, and its fall was the first step toward German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990.

I worked for Germans ..its in their blood. When people think of "the GESTAPO" they think of b movie SS guys following you around. That was not true. The GESTAPO for the most part were just beurocrats, clerks for the most part who shifted through info that people were giving them. The neighbors WOULD SPY ON EACH OTHER, and they would turn each other in. In East Germany they kept the same system, but it was the STASI. I have some eurotrash german neighbors, and the grandma said knew by boss and would report me cause I told her to shut the he11 up!My old job I was told on all the time, either to the boss, or to the friggin union, because I wouldnt put up with their crap.The left wing guys over here are really funny...they will spend all day talking about how they hate the cops and how they are big anarcists and the law is all scum, but again when I told a guy he was full of it the first thing he screamed was "Im gonna call the police"  I really wish we gave them the Morgantau Plan instead of the Marshall Plan
