Requested move

Merge

See also an analogous proposal ate Talk:Territorial changes of Poland after World War II#Merge.

This article should be merged into the straight, Territorial changes of Germany. All this information is just copied from the Territorial changes of Germany article. With only one article it will be easier to keep everything NPOV.

Cold War division and post-Cold War reunification

We ought to include East Germany and West Germany in our discussion of territorial changes, as well as West Berlin, as the Soviets had their own country in Germany. This meant ramming an international border down the middle of Germany, and thus should be treated as a "territorial change". West Berlin, as I understand it, was a sort of joint colony of the Western Allies (the UK, France, America) in close political association with West Germany. 198.151.130.33 (talk) 12:10, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

What territory was initially taken by the Allies, and then exchanged with each other?

I didn't find what I came looking for. I read that at the close of the war, the US had captured an IG Farben plant, but turned that district over to the Soviet Union for occupation as part of the post-war rearranging (the Soviets dismantled the plant and took it to Russia to create their color photograph industry). This article skips the period of time from the fall of the Third Reich to the post-war period. 68.175.11.48 (talk) 22:39, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
