first answer: After the Second World War, Europe was shared out between France, Britain, USA and USSR (Russia).

correct answer:

As the war ended on the Eastern Front, the Soviet Union's armies had driven the Germans, Romanians, Bulgarians & Hungarians back into their countries and defeated them. The Soviet Union occupied the following eastern European countries: Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the northeastern portion of Germany. Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union installed Communist governments in these nations and cut off most trade, travel and communication with the nations to the west. Stalin created what became known as the "iron curtain" that enslaved Eastern Europe to communism in the east, and separated it from the free nations in Western Europe. This was also the beginning of the "Cold War".
