Which term describes splitting Berlin into sectors controlled by different powers after World War II?

• A. East Berlin / West Berlin
• B. East Germany / West Germany
• C. D-Day (Invasion of Normandy)
• D. Dust Bowl

Answer: (A)

After World War II, Berlin was divided into sectors controlled by the major powers, so the city effectively existed as two parts under different administrations. This is best described as East Berlin and West Berlin—the Soviet-controlled sector and the Western Allied sector. This split reflected the broader division of Europe during the early Cold War and later led to the construction of the Berlin Wall. The other options don’t fit because they refer to larger state-level divisions or events not about Berlin’s internal zoning: East Germany / West Germany describes the two German states, D-Day is the invasion of Normandy, and the Dust Bowl is a U.S. environmental disaster.
