The Eastern Bloc was formed during the Cold War as a result of the Soviet Union's desire to expand its influence in Eastern Europe after World War II. This bloc consisted of communist states that were aligned with the USSR, primarily to counter the perceived threat from the capitalist West, particularly the United States and its allies. The Eastern Bloc aimed to create a buffer zone against potential invasions and to promote communist ideology. This division solidified the geopolitical tensions that characterized the Cold War era.
Eastern Bloc
The US-USSR rivalry was known as the "Cold War" lasted from 1947-1991. However to be accurate , the term included the Western Bloc (US - NATO - Japan) and the Eastern Bloc countries of the Soviet Union, it's Eastern Bloc allies, and occasionally China. As opposed to a 'hot' or shooting war, the 'cold' war was basically a political and economic struggle for global supremacy.

The main feature of the cold war was that it was NOT A WAR. There were no bombings, airplanes fighting airplanes in aerial combat, no warships fighting warships at sea. The cold war was a "Stand-off" between two sets of atomic weapon armed nations waiting for an excuse to start a war. Which is alot of words to say; so we simply called it a "cold war."
