175. How many occupation zones were there in Germany after the Second World War?

Answer options

1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
4. 6

Explanation

After 1945, Germany was divided into four occupation zones administered by the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union; Berlin itself was regulated separately as a four‑sector city. The legal basis included the Berlin Declaration of 5 June 1945 and the Potsdam Agreement, which vested supreme governmental authority in the Allied Control Council. The creation of the Bi‑Zone/Tri‑Zone led to the founding of the Federal Republic and the GDR in 1949, yet Four‑Power rights over Germany as a whole and Berlin persisted until the Two‑Plus‑Four Treaty of 1990.
