Allied-occupied Germany

Allied-occupied Germany was a colony in Central Europe (Europe) that lasted from 1945 to 1949 CE, about 4 years. The timeline colours it by the language of its rulers: Germanic (Gothic, Frankish, English, German, Dutch, Norse).

After Germany's surrender in May 1945 the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union and France asserted joint authority through the Allied Control Council and divided the country into four occupation zones. Their split led to West and East Germany in 1949.
