Approximately how much German land was occupied by the Soviets?

History
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The SBZ was one of the four Allied occupation zones of Germany created at the end of World War II. According to the Potsdam Agreement, the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (German initials: SMAD) was assigned responsibility for the eastern portion of Germany. By the time forces of the United States and Britain began to meet Soviet forces, forming a Line of contact, significant areas of what would become the Soviet zone of Germany were outside Soviet control. After several months of occupation these gains by the British and Americans were ceded to the Soviets, by July 1945, according to the previously agreed upon occupation zone boundaries.

The SMAD allowed four political parties to develop, though they were all required to work together under an alliance known as the "Democratic Bloc" (later the National Front). In April 1946, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) were forcibly merged to form the Socialist Unity Party which later became the governing party of the GDR.

The SMAD set up ten "special camps" for the detention of Germans, making use of some former Nazi concentration camps.

States (Länder) of the Soviet zone and later also the GDR until 1952:

  Mecklenburg

  Brandenburg

  Saxony-Anhalt

  Saxony

  Thuringia

In 1945, the Soviet occupation zone consisted primarily of the central portions of Prussia. After Prussia was dissolved by the Allied powers in 1947, the area was divided between the German states (Länder) of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. On 7 October 1949, the Soviet zone became the German Democratic Republic. In 1952, the Länder were dissolved and realigned into 14 districts (Bezirke), plus the district of East Berlin.

In 1952, with the Cold War political confrontation well underway, Joseph Stalin sounded out the Western Powers about the prospect of a united Germany which would be non-aligned (the "Stalin Note"). The West's disinterest in this proposal helped to cement the Soviet Zone's identity as the GDR for the next four decades.

"Soviet zone" and derivatives (or also, "the so-called GDR") remained official and common names for East Germany in West Germany, which refused to acknowledge the existence of a state in East Germany until 1972, when the government of Willy Brandt extended a qualified recognition under its Ostpolitik initiative.

Benefits and challenges that the Clergy class faced
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Pros :

You had the possibility to help people rather directly as there were more little towns.

People were much more receptive to your preaches. You had a rather large freedom of speech especially if you were a bishop. (This is not in middle ages but the priest that lead Louis XIV burial mass said in his preach “Only God is great !” (Implicitly saying that the king was a standart man that was confronted to the same necessity than other people).

You had access to a good education (and to some boos, what was rather scarce before the XVIth century) hence, you were one of the few litterate persons allowing you to teach people how to read and write. You could have an intellectual influence and a social influence by teaching the local lord’s children how to read and sometimes give political pieces of advice to the local lord.

You could yourself be a local lord as bishop / head of an abbey.

You could be the head of a local charity (origin of hospitals).

In France you didn’t pay taxes. On the contrary, you received one tenth of peasants’ crops.

If you were an eminent bishop / cardinal, or if you were the Pope you could have tremendous spiritual and political power.

You could get married while being a catholic priest (before the XIIth century, before 1123 precisely).

Cons :

You could be obliged to condemn people because they didn’t believe in God - help the Inquisition.

You had to help / discuss with people that were sentenced to death what should have been very difficult on a psychological point of view.

You couldn’t get married after the XIIth century (after 1123).

You could be seen with envy considering your privileges.
