What is an eastern bloc?
It was the split of Germany after WWII. The Soviet Union was trying to take over Germany to make sure they didn't have a threat again since during WWII they lost so many resources because of Germany.

Why was Germany an enemy of the US in World War 2?
Germany did NOT want to go to war with the US. But Germany DID want to go to war with the Soviet Union (RUSSIA), and did. The best way to defeat an enemy is to have him fighting on two sides (two fronts). Germany was already fighting Russia (Soviet Union) on the western side (western front), and needed to have Russia (Soviet Union) fighting on an Eastern side (eastern front). Japan had a reputation for fighting Russia, once in 1904-1905 (Russo-Japanese War-Japan won), and again in 1939 at NOMANHAN (Japan lost) located near Siberia. With that kind of record, Germany felt Japan might help Germany fight the Russians (again)...if Germany helped out Japan fight the United States, then Japan might return the favor. Three days after Pearl Harbor, on 11 December 1941, Germany declared on the United States. What Germany didn't know, was Japan was real tired of fighting Russia!

Is the US mainly in the eastern or western hemisphere?
Completely in the western hemisphere. it has become a matter of convention to refer to the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. The division is specified by an imaginary line drawn between the North pole and the South pole that passes through Greenwich, England. Everything to the east of that line is the Eastern hemisphere and everything to the west is the Western Hemisphere, and the two hemispheres meet again at a line on exactly the opposite side of the Earth. The US lies west of the line passing through Greenwich.
Where is eastern hamisphere?
The eastern hemisphere is half of the Earth. There is a division that is arbitrary and a matter of history which give a designation of eastern and western to two the two halves. The eastern and western hemispheres are separated by an imaginary line drawn between the North pole and the South pole that passes through Greenwich, England. Everything to the east of that line is the Eastern hemisphere and everything to the west is the Western Hemisphere, and the two hemispheres meet again at a line on exactly the opposite side of the Earth called the 180th meridian or antemeridian. There is another designation of northern and southern hemispheres which has a more rational origin.
