Western Europe is more powerful than its eastern counterparts for several reasons. The two most important are: 1) After World War 1, the Allied powers really screwed up making a new map of Europe, so when they were done, every eastern European nation had ethnic minorities that would cause a lot of tensions in the future. 2) From 1945-1990, most of Eastern Europe was under communist rule, which stifled economic growth in the region.
