NATO. North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Basically an alliance of the North American and Western European countries to deter Soviet imperialism.
The Soviet Union invaded those countries with its massive army. Just to give you an idea about the scope of the Soviet Army, the USSR lost 8.7 million soldiers during the war and still managed to conquer half of Europe. The Soviet Union invaded Eastern Europe at the same time that the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western Allies invaded Western Europe. The difference was that after World War II, the Western Allies withdrew a large portion of their armies and allowed the countries of Western Europe to determine their own governments. The Soviets used their military power to force Eastern European governments to be modeled after the Soviet Union and kept their armies in Eastern European countries to crush dissent.
The Western European countries created several organizations. NATO is one example. This organization was created by Western Europe and the United States to protect Western Europe from a possible Soviet invasion. The Western European Union is another example. This union was created to unite Western Europe. However, this organization is now dissolved and was engulfed in the European Union in 2011. The European Union is also another example. Though this union now includes parts all over Europe, it was first created by Western European nations.
Ukraine is the largest of the European countries that were part of the Soviet Union.
