One reason why the Allies were intent on occupying Germany after the war was to prevent the country from starting another war in the future. By occupying Germany, the Allies could dismantle the Nazi regime, disarm the German military, and ensure that Germany would not pose a threat to European security again. Additionally, occupying Germany allowed the Allies to establish control over the country's resources and infrastructure, which could be used for reparations, reconstruction, and to maintain stability in the post-war period.
