Chapter 1 : A War Ends, a New One Begins
War was over, finally Canada, USA, Britian, and the other Allies are now victorious. Germany surrendered to the Allied nations and the Soviet Union in May 9th, 1945. It was then split up, creating British, American, and French sectors to the West, while the rest of Germany to the East was occupied by the Soviet Union.
