Editing Bizone (section)

=== Trizonia, end of inter-Allied control, and formation of West Germany ===
Bizonia governance was extended to include the [[France|French]] occupation zone on 1 August 1948<ref name=EU/><ref name=Wegs/> and the resulting structure was unofficially called either ''Trizonia'' or ''Trizonesia''. Relations among the four occupying powers continued to deteriorate, and the quadripartite structures became unmanageable. In March 1948, the [[Allied Control Council]] ceased to operate and was replaced for the Trizone by the Allied High Commission. Subsequently, the Trizone became the [[West Germany|Federal Republic of Germany]], commonly known as [[West Germany]], on 23 May 1949. The Soviet-sponsored Kommandatura ceased to operate in June 1948.<ref name=EU/>
