The plan of USSR was:
TO divide Germany to prevent it from waging war again.
Step-by-step explanation:
The policy of the USSR was to divide Germany into pieces so that it would never wage wars again. Obviously, that was only the surface reasons given by the soviets.
The true reason was rather self serving.
- The part of the East that Russia eventually got was to serve as the buffer for their territory and Europe.
- They had a foothold in mainland Europe.
- The state was Russian in all but name. They had complete control.
These were the reasons that made Russia come to the conclusion it did.
