Answer 2

Answer:

The Soviet Union maintain control of East Germany after World War II by constructing Berlin wall.

Explanation:

• The notorious Berlin wall was constructed by the Soviet Union in 1948 largely to prevent East Germans from emigrating to the Western region of Germany, which by that time had united the three regions held by France, Britain, and the United States.
• The Soviet Union was given control of the northeast quadrant, which included the nation's capital Berlin, as the Soviet army had already seized much of eastern Germany.
• Following the end of World War II, Soviet soldiers governed and occupied its territory—the Soviet occupation zone of the Potsdam Agreement, bordered on the east by the Oder-Neisse line. West Berlin remained outside of the GDR's purview and was surrounded by the Soviet zone but was not part of it.

Thus the answer is Berlin wall.
