Known as "Operation Barbarossa," the 22 June 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union involved some 4 million Axis troops over a 1,800 mile front with a reported 600,000 vehicles and 625,000 horses. It was the largest invasion in the history of war, and in the end, cost the Germans a staggering 95% casualty rate.

How did the Soviet Union invade so many eastern European countries?

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.
