East Germany

East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic, was a country located in Eastern Europe. It existed from 1949 to 1990 under the influence of the Soviet Union.

History
East Germany formed from the Soviet zone of Allied-occupied Germany. After a failed blockade, Nikita Khrushchev built a wall to keep out the Mexicans in the East Berliners. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, Erich Honecker, a hardline Stalinist, was still in charge. Hungary opened its border with Austria. Even though East Germans couldn't travel directly to the West, they could travel to Hungary, which means they could now travel to the West. Honecker was voted out of power, and East Germany reunited with West Germany.
