Answer:
Stalin wanted to keep Germany A. Divided.
Step-by-step explanation:
Stalin believed that a weakened Germany would be for the better for the world as a whole. Germany played an important role in the longevity of World War I, as well as the "surprise" invasions in World War II. This followed through in their policies. They did not allow East Germany to merge with West Germany (as their western allies have done), and also cut off West Berlin's access to the rest of the world.
