Coal in the western areas has a lower energy content.
The Cold War is marked by heightened military and political tension between the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc. The Western Bloc consisted of the United States and nations in NATO as well as Japan. The Eastern Bloc included the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact nations.
Notice that Eastern Europe IS NOT the same as Eastern Block, i.e. Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary were part of Eastern Bloc (as communistic states) but have never been in Eastern Europe (but central one or in western cultural circle). SO Eastern Bloc: poverty, communism, lack of personal freedom, highly extended health care and education system, central planned economy (inefficient), subjection to USSR (obligatory under the thread of military intervention) Western Europe: Richness, real democracy, freedom of speech and traveling, lower social expenses, capitalism, subjection to USA (freely).
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War contributed the most to increasing international trade for eastern and Western Europe in the 1990's.
