According to the (SPD) and the Communist Party of Germany were merged into the Socialist Unity Party (which became the governing party of East Germany ). Finally, the SED created other parties, to weaken the Christian Democratic Union and Liberal Democratic Party Of Germany . Originally, Stalin wanted to Sovietize all of Germany, but when the West resisted this idea, he tried to work for a united Germany which would be non-aligned, but when the West again said no he decided to build a new country out of the Soviet occupation zone. In 1945 , the Soviet occupation zone consisted of the German states of Brandenburg , Mecklenburg , Sachsen , Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen . On October 8 , 1949 , they became the German Democratic Republic , usually known simply as East Germany . In 1952 , the states were dissolved, and changed to 14 districts (except for East Berlin ).
