Explanation
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Germany was occupied by the victorious powers. The country lost its state sovereignty and was divided into several occupation zones. Each zone was controlled by a specific state, which made political, military, and economic decisions. These states are referred to as "Allied occupying powers".
