For a few years after World War 2, the Americans had nuclear weapons, and the Soviets did not. It was agreed before the war ended that the Soviets would administer Eastern Europe, and it was hoped that these countries would be given their freedom, but the Soviet acquirement of the nuclear secret changed everything.
