During but especially after World War II, Stalin sought to occupy and then control satellite nations in Europe, especially, for several reasons. The first was ideological: to spread the Communist revolution. The second was defensive in nature: Stalin sought to establish a buffer of sympathetic nations around the Soviet Union as protection against any further aggression by major powers in future wars.
Stalin wanted to keep the countries he defeated. He wanted them to become part of communist USSR. Truman and Churchill wanted him to give them up and let them have peace and freedom. Stalin was not having it their way. He kept them and they were under communist rule for nearly fifty years.
Stalin kept half of Germany. It became known as East Germany and was under Russia's communist rule until the early 1990s.That is why Stalin want control of European countries
They had very different ideas on how to run countries, as an example of Stalin being a communist and the Allies all being democratic.
Stalin formed the eastern block by taking over many countries and cities and making them communist. He is also responsible for the great purge.
Communism means a global society with no governments or countries or armies. Neither Lenin nor Stalin wanted that.
