Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb. Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly common exterior widths. They'll usually be 4 9/16 inches or 6 9/16 inches.
Germany did not just get a new government. The Allies made sure that Germany got a different kind of government. Before1914, the government of Germany was almost a military autocracy; after 1919, it was a parliamentary democracy.
East Germany became a communist country under the control of the Soviet Union. At the same time West Germany was a democratic country and allied with Britain, France, and the United States.he Soviet and East German leaders began to worry that they were losing too many people. Over the course of the years 1949 to 1959, over 2 million people left the country. In 1960 alone, around 230,000 people defected.
