Winston Churchill warned President Roosevelt not to trust Stalin and not to let him get to Berlin. Roosevelt did not listen to Churchill. It is doubtful Roosevelt could have stopped him from taking over the Eastern Bloc anyway. It would have been better for Europe if they had not been taken over by the Communists. There are still six countries which are communist countries. The United States had a real issue with communism which is how we ended up in Viet Nam and Korea in another bunch of wars. So I doubt the Cold War would have been prevented with the mindset of the American leaders.
These men in The Big Three - Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin - made plans for the end of Europe and what the future will have in store for the European countries.
The direct answer is two, Western and Eastern Europe as defined by the imposition of what Churchill coined for us as "The Iron Curtain". the free democratically based west vis-a-vis the U.S.S.R. and Soviet Bloc east.
Europe had enormous capital and industries which allowed it to dominate the world economy by the beginning of the twentieth century. It was also superior militarily.

Because of FDR's disloyalty to Churchill at the Tehran Conference. FDR went behind Churchill's back and made secret agreements with Stalin on Eastern Europe. Stalin said he preferred "a downright enemy to a pretending friend".
