The divided parts of Berlin during the Cold War, with East Berlin under communist control and West Berlin supported by the United States and its allies.

• A. East Berlin / West Berlin
• B. East Germany / West Germany
• C. Democracy
• D. Electrification

Answer: (A)

During the Cold War, Berlin was divided into two parts: East Berlin, under Soviet-controlled communist administration, and West Berlin, backed by the United States and its allies. This arrangement captured the city’s unique division within a split Germany and was embodied by the Berlin Wall. The pairing East Berlin / West Berlin is the best answer because it directly names the two halves of the city that were split and aligned with opposite blocs. East Germany / West Germany would refer to the separate states of the German nation, not the city itself; democracy and electrification do not describe the division.
