why was berlin divided into four sectors?

Answer 1

Germany was divided into four sectors - berlin was divided into two!! East and west!

The outbreak of the Cold War affected Germany immediately. When the Soviet Union and the Western Allies could not agree on a common policy in Germany, each side began to organize its own occupation zones in Germany overall and in Berlin. The Western Allies occupied western Germany, and the Soviet Union occupied the east. Berlin, located in the east, was divided into Allied-occupied West Berlin and Soviet-occupied East Berlin. The United Kingdom, France, and the United States combined the economies of the zones they controlled and prepared to unite the zones politically. The Soviet Union imposed Communist rule on its zone.

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Following the end of World War II, the Allies took over the defeated Third Reich. To make this occupation proceed more smoothly, the Potsdam Agreement of 1945 divided "Greater Germany" into four zones, each occupied by one of the Allies: Great Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union. Each supporting country then worked to help rebuild the damaged area and reconstruct the political and economic systems of its zone using its own such structures as a guide. For the western part of the former Germany, capitalism and democracy were the inodi operatidi under Great Britain, France, and the United States. The Soviet Union, which held the territory in the eastern part of the country, established a Communist government with a socialist economic system. Berlin, the former capital of Germany, although lying entirely within the Soviet zone, was also partitioned into a miniature version of the zones of the whole country.
__________________________________________________________
The Potsdam Agreement established the legal framework for the occupation of Germany in the wake of World War II. According to the agreement, Germany would be formally under the sovereignty of the four major wartime allies -- the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union -- until a German government acceptable to them all could be reconstituted. Germany would be divided into four sectors, each administered by one of the allies. Berlin, though surrounded by the Soviet sector, would be similarly divided, with the western allies occupying an enclave consisting of the western parts of the city. According to the agreement, the occupation of Berlin would only end as a result of a four-power agreement.

The sectors controlled by France, the United Kingdom, and the United States were merged to form the Federal Republic of Germany on May 23, 1949; the Soviet Union established the German Democratic Republic on October 7, 1949. The two states were known informally as "West Germany" and "East Germany", respectively.

Answer 3

Berlin was also divided into four sectors initially - French, British, American and Russian. As was the whole of Germany.

Later the Americans, French and British combined their sectors to create "Bizonia", on the basis that Germany could only manage economic reconstruction if it were large enough.

The decision to divide Germany, and Berlin, in this way, was first made at Yalta in February 1945. It was ratified at Potsdam in July/August 1945. Stalin did not feel that the French deserved to control any part of it, because they had "given in" to occupation, whereas the USSR had resisted the Germans at great cost - as the Americans and British had in their own way. It was Churchill and Roosevelt, at Yalta, who ensured that the French had their 'bit'.

But the combining of the 3 Western zones, and the introduction of the new currency (Deutschmark), and the fact that Western Germany was recoving quickly and positively, caused Stalin in 1948 to try and force the allies out of Berlin - the Berlin Blockade. He was determined to keep his sector of Germany crippled, to prevent the country from ever being able to pose a threat again ... and all the lovely capitalists in West Berlin were too enticing to the downtrodden East Berliners.

Answer 4

in world war II most of the German army was defeated by 1942, the next years were a struggle between soviets and Occident to keep more territory in their hands, the red army advanced and kept eastern Europe, US army entered through Normandy to advance to Berlin. at the end of world war II there was a treaty to administrate Germany which was divided in a part for great Britain, US, France and the Soviet union, the same happened with Berlin letting a corridor inside Germany for the others to pass through the soviet administrated. at first Berlin was divided without a wall but the difference of the two systems (capitalism and socialist) could not co exist people transited both ways obtaining the benefits that socialist could provide as free food and things given by the state, in the other hand things and products that the capitalism could have would corrupt the socialist system, the social Germany could not be able to support the capitalist part which without participating in the social economy would take advantage of it. a wall was built. with the wall built there were people trying to get the other side, ones going to the called free world looking for the pleasures that capitalism can provide, but some others jumped to the socialist part searching for a secure job and a higher level of life

Answer 5

The branch of Berlin changed into meant to be non everlasting till a sparkling German authorities will be set up. there changed into no aggreement to divide Germany completely between East and West. The Russians purely took a non everlasting branch and made it everlasting. when you consider that Berlin changed into the capital and an island interior the territory that the Russians had overrun, it changed into desirous to divide the city into 4 sectors. yet back--this changed into considered a temperary action; it changed into the Russians that unilaterally went previous any agreements made with information from the Allies in the course of the warfare.

Answer 6

As far as I remember from history lessons it was divided into 4 sectors for the 4 countries who had beaten Germany in the war - France, Great Britain, America and Russia.

Answer 7

at the end of World War II, Berlin was under the control of the Allied powers. They all wanted total control, but that wasn't practical. USSR and USA didn't trust each other. They compromised by dividing the city and the country of Germany.

Answer 8

Because it was the combined forces of the Russians, Americans, English and the French that defeated the Germans so the administration of the capital was split between those 4 powers. The Americans, French and English quickly amalgamated their sectors but the Russian section remained communist until the wall came down

Answer 9

It was divided into 4 sectors because all 4 Allies wanted part of the capital. Same in Vienna (Austrian capital)

Answer 10

It was a political decision made by the 3 most dominant Allied governments. None of them would cede total control to the other so they divided it as a compromise to keep them all happy.
