The German Democratic Republic (GDR; German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik, or DDR, commonly known in English as East Germany) was a Socialist state, which existed from 1949 to 1990 in eastern Germany.
The German Democratic Republic was proclaimed in East Berlin on October 7, 1949 in the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany, following the proclamation in May 1949 of the Federal Republic of Germany ("West Germany") in the zones of Germany formerly occupied by the United States, Britain and France.
