Answer:

West and East Germany was a perfect representation of the Cold War.

Step-by-step explanation:

West Germany had been influenced by the US and pursued democracy with capitalist policies. East Germany was a satellite state of the USSR that adopted communism and state economics. These two countries at the time were separated due to their ideology and tension that had grown in Berlin. The Berlin Wall was a symbol of separation between not only Germans but the democracies and communists nations of the World. Massive restrictions were made to prevent citizens from entering East and West Germany unless it was mainly diplomatic.
