How did the soviet union maintain control of east germany after world war ii? a. the soviets removed their troops and set up a puppet government. b. the soviets kept their troops in east germany and occupied it. c. the soviets supported the government chosen by the east germans. d. the soviets allowed free speech, earning the trust of the east germans.

The correct answer is B) The Soviets keep their troops in East Germany.

After the end of World War II, the Allied Powers developed a plan in which each of the major countries from this alliance would control some part of Germany. This was to ensure that Germany did not try to invade or take over other territories like they did during World War II.

Germany was split up between the United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France. In this scenario, the Soviet Union recieved East Germany due to its close proximity to the Soviet Union. They were then able to control East Germany and begin to implement their political and economic ideas in this country.
