By 1945, Nazi Germany lay defeated and the Allies stood victorious. The Soviet Union had suffered greatly to win the war. The paranoia of another invasion pushed Stalin to seize Eastern Europe as a cushion between the USSR and capitalism and prevent Russian soil from becoming a war zone again. So by 1947, the Iron Curtain had fallen across the continent and the world was slipping towards a deep freeze. The West by now had seen the might of Soviet arms and feared Communism sweeping over Europe. The North Atlantic Charter was signed in 1949 and the West created a security pact against the Soviet Union. Stalin responded by creating the Warsaw Pact a few years later. The tensions between the Soviet Union and the West eventually led to the Cold War.
