I read a book about world war two. In the book it talked about a proposal that was considered in 1945 that would've split Germany into "East Germany", under Soviet occupation, and "West Germany" under British and American Occupation. What if this had actually happened? Would East Germany become communist like the rest of Eastern Europe? And what about the West? Would reunification ever be possible, and if so, what would be the cultural and political consequences of a german reunification?
