Occupation
Germany was divided by the Potsdam Agreement into several separably-administered occupation zones.
The Soviet zone was reorganized into the German Democratic Republic (GDR, Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR), more generally known as East Germany.
The British, French, and American zones were reorganized into the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG, Bundesrepublik Deutschland), more generally known as West Germany.
Federal Republic of Germany
Germany was re-re-unified on October 3, 1990.
Officially, Russia exited German administration in 1994, although Königsberg remains in Russian control.
