Translation
Which country was not an 'Allied occupying power' in Germany?
- A USA
- B Soviet Union
- C France
- D Japan ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
After World War II, Germany was occupied by four Allied powers: the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France. Japan was part of the Axis powers and did not occupy Germany.
Tips
- Look for the term “Allied occupying powers” and recall the four postwar zones in Germany (US, UK, USSR, France).
- Eliminate countries that were Axis powers or fought alongside Germany in WWII.
- If two options seem plausible, remember that the UK was also an occupier even if not listed; check which listed countries match the known four.
- Use historical context: occupiers administered zones in Germany and Berlin after 1945.
