Europe was the center of world power.
They were not part of Allied powers, but had an alliance as the Axis powers.
Germany was warring with the major industrial powers in the world at that time, Europe; and was strongly established as a land power. Japan was warring with sparsely distributed industrial powers in the world at the time, Asia; and was strongly established as a sea power.
Napoleon abolished the Holy Roman Empire, and he reduced Europe's population. Some other consequences may be difficult to measure. With Europe weakened, it may have been easier for the United States and Japan to rise as world powers and compete seriously with Europe.
The Allied Powers and the Central Powers.
NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, was formed by the Allied Powers after WW2.
After World War 2, the United States of America and the Soviet Union became the dominant world powers.
The United Kingdom inherited the role of being the dominant world power as a result of the Napoleonic Wars.
The first world powers are there, do not understand
the emergence of the US and the USSR as the dominant world powers, supplanting the UK and the other nations of Europe; the division of Germany into East and West; Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe; the end of fascism is a significant political force; (indirectly) the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine
Unfortunately all countries in Eastern were not recently dominant powers in Eastern Europe except the Soviet Union. So many new countries have been created recently that it can be said that all of these were not dominant powers. Problem with question is that in past almost all countries in Eastern Europe were part of or carried name of once dominant powers. Examples are the countries that once were part of one of the world's empires, especially the Holy Roman empire, the Russian empire, the Ottoman empire, Sweden, Austrian-Hungarian empire, the Roman empire, France under Napoleon, the Byzantine empire (lands held in lower Eastern Europe), the Greek empire, or farther back, the Macedonian Empire or the Minoan Empire (the actual extent of which is still not clear). Therefore this question is basically unanswerable unless the definitions within the question are clarified/defined (especially as to what does dominant mean, what time frame is being discussed, and what area constitutes "Eastern Europe".
Industrialization, political strength and military strength made Europe a dominant force in world events during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

In the era before the rise of Christianity, religion in Europe and elsewhere in the West was predominantly pagan, that is, consisted of belief in numerous divinities with various supernatural qualities and powers. Monotheism was present (for example, among adherents of Judaism) but was not the dominant faith of the pre-Christian world.
