Deutsch: Welches Land war keine "Alliierte Besatzungsmacht" in Deutschland?
Answer options
- Soviet Union
- Japan✓ Correct answer
- USA
- France
Explanation
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Germany was militarily occupied by the victorious powers and divided into occupation zones. These so-called "Allied Occupying Powers" took over the administration, political reorganization and reconstruction of the country. Not all countries involved in the war played a role as occupying forces in Germany. In order to find the right answer, knowledge of the states involved in the post-war order is necessary.
