Is Germany west Germany and east Germany the same?
Yes. Germany more or less finally became a single unified country in 1871. In 1945, after Germany lost World War II, it was split into four parts, each part controlled by military forces from one of the four major countries that won the war (USA, UK, USSR and France). Berlin, the capital city, was split in the same manner. In 1949, three of those (the USA, UK and France parts) joined to become the "Federal Republic of Germany", or West Germany. The fourth part (the one controlled by the USSR) became the "Democratic German Republic" or East Germany. West Germany was a republic, like the USA and France. East Germany was a communist dictatorship controlled by the USSR. Again, Berlin was split in the same manner, which caused problems for West Berlin, because Berlin was right in the middle of East Germany. East Berlin became the capital city of East Germany; the city of Bonn became the capital of West Germany. In 1990, East Germany's dictatorship finally ended and it became a part of West Germany, and West Germany dropped the "West" part and is just Germany now. It is still officially called the Federal Republic of Germany, and Berlin, which is also reunified, is the capital of all Germany again.
