Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt decided on the postwar division of Europe at the Yalta Conference. For that reason, American forces ended their advance at the Elba River, leaving Russia to take Berlin. In essence, this gave Russia control of East Germany which fell in the Soviet sphere, and the Western Allies (Britain, France, and the US) divided West Germany.
The dividing line between the Soviets and US/allies.
In WWI: It made Wilson control the others, whilst France, Britain and Italy babbled over the defeated Germany, Wilson decided to cash in on their dept and make plans to help the economies of Europe which would help USA. Britain and France didn't agree about Germany, whilst Britain wanted to take a more helping role, France wanted their complete annihilation.

Postwar Germany was divided into two main regions: West Germany, which was occupied by the United States, Great Britain, and France, and East Germany, which was occupied by the Soviet Union. The western zones, comprising the American, British, and French sectors, eventually formed the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) in 1949. In contrast, the Soviet-occupied zone became the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) around the same time. This division solidified during the Cold War, reflecting the broader geopolitical tensions between the West and the Eastern Bloc.
