Answer 1

For many years following World War II, there were two German states. The Cold War led to the division of Germany into an eastern part, the German Democratic Republic (GDR, also called East Germany), and a western part, the Federal Republic of Germany; a border divided the two sections. The GDR was a product of the Soviet Union. Under its strict system, people made several attempts to gain more freedom. But it was not until 1989 that the mass demonstrations triggered the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the autumn of that year, tens of thousands of East German citizens fled to the West through other countries. On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was opened; one year later, East Germany joined West Germany to become one country.

Today, all Germany is a democratic republic. It has a house of representatives, called the Bundestag and a second chamber, called the Bundesrat, which represents Germany's 16 federal states. Unlike the U.S., however, the Federal Republic has both a president, who acts as head of state, and a chancellor, who runs the federal government.
