History
Foundation
During the aftermath of the defeat of Axis forces during the Second World War, Germany was divided into four zones occupied by the Soviet Union, USA, France and Great Britain. As cold war tensions started to erupt during the so-called Berlin "Blockade", territory occupied by the latter three was merged to form the Federal Republic.
Economy
Politics
Unlike the later formed DDR, the constitution was passed without ratification of citizens and a thorough denazification policy wasn't implemented.
