East Germany and West Germany
Conflicting Desires
Soviet Union
The Soviet Union despised the idea of France, Britain, and the US's idea of merging together because they felt that they would have more power than them. Once West Germany introduced the new form of currency, The Soviet Union created the Berlin Blockade. Once the West completely merged, they created the Berlin Wall to prevent it's citizens from trying to escape to the West. Many people tried to escape from the East to the West because the West allowed a lot more freedom and it was more prosperous.
