Geschichte und VerantwortungDeutschland in Europa

Welche deutsche Stadt wurde nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in vier Sektoren aufgeteilt?

  1. München
  2. Berlin
  3. Dresden
  4. Frankfurt/Oder

Why this is the correct answer

Although Berlin was located entirely within the Soviet occupation zone, the city was placed under four-power administration because of its historical and symbolic importance as Germany's capital. Each of the four Allied powers — the US, UK, France, and Soviet Union — governed one sector of Berlin. This four-sector status made Berlin a persistent flashpoint of the Cold War, most dramatically during the 1948–49 blockade and the construction of the Wall in 1961.
