How did the soviet union maintain control of east germany after world war ii?

I believe the answer is: The soviets kept their troops in east Germany and occupied it

The existence of soviet union troops allow them to influence east germany's political extend. This lead to a situation when there were two opposite ideologies exist in germany.  The eastern Germany that controlled by soviet union adopted a communism ideology while the western Germany that controlled by the Allies adopted a democratic ideology.

question - in the 1900s there were two competing views about the environment that often pitted industrialist and conservationist against one another. how were these two competing views demonstrated by the environmental policies of president roosevelt and president taft?
