What European countries occupy the same area as the old USSR?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia,

However, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania whilst not part of the USSR , wqere tightly controlled by the USSR.

Other countries under USSR influence were Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Roumania. They all formed part of a political and trading alliance known as 'Comminterm'. or 'Commecon'. They were separated from the rest of Europe by what Sir Winston Churchill named as the 'Iron Curtain'.

All of these countries were controlled by Moscow (USSR). They had nominal politicians, bu they had to work by the direction of the Communist Party in Moscow.

Any of these countries that wanted more (political) freedom, were severely curtailed by having USSR armanenets sent in to control the population. The notable uprising, were Hungary (1956) , the'Prague Spring', under Alexander Dubcek. And The shipyard strikes led by Lech Walesa in Gdansk , Poland )1989). This last one finally opened Eastern Europe, together with a change of leadership in Moscow, with Mikhail Gorbachev, and his policies of Glasnost , and Perestroika.

What happened to Germany and Berlin at the end of World War 2?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The country was occupied by the four allied powers. viz. USA, Great Britain, France and USSR (Russia).

The German -polish border was moved west to the River Oder.

Prussia, Pomerania, were absorbed into Poland.

The USSR occupied north east Germany and created the DDR ( Deutscher Demokratische Republik(East Germany). The USA occupied southern Germany, The British occupied northern Germany, and the French occupied the Saarland and Alsace. With the exception of the DDR the western occupying powers kept the nation in one piece. The Capital city became Bonn on the River Rhine.

Berlin was wholly encircled by East Germany (DDR), but the four occupying powers each had a section of the city. Special access roads, and rail were made from West Germany to Berlin for the occupying western Powers(Allies). Peolple travlling on these roads could NOT divrty from them, under threat of imprisonment by the communist east German authorities , with the support of the USSR.

The city was cleared of war debris, and West Berlin became a cosmopolitan city on the western model. However, East Berlin was not seriopusly rebuilt, and just remained a cleared wreck.

The infamous Berlin Wall was NOT built until 1961, by the East Germans/USSR. It it was brought down in 1989. A section remains to today as a monumnet to history.

Access for German people between East and West Germany and between East & West Berlin was severely restricted until the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the subsequent reunification of Germany. (East & West becoming one nation again).

What lead to World War II?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

World War II was primarily caused by the aggressive expansionist policies of Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, along with the militaristic ambitions of Japan and Italy. The Treaty of Versailles, which imposed harsh conditions on Germany after World War I, also played a role in creating conditions for conflict. Additionally, the failure of the international community to effectively address the rise of these aggressive powers and appeasement policies further contributed to the outbreak of war.
