After World War 2, Germany was split into two countries. One country was known as West Germany and it was under the influence of the United States, England and France. The other country was known as East Germany and it was under the influence and direct control of the Soviet Union. The Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989, that's when the two countries were re-united in one again, Germany. West Germany absorbed East Germany. Like Japan, now Germany is one of the best allies and trading partners with the United States. Who would think that enemies could become such very good friends?
