The major divisions between Eastern and Western Europe after World War II were primarily based on political ideologies and economic systems. Eastern Europe fell under the influence of the Soviet Union, adopting communist regimes and centrally planned economies, while Western Europe embraced democratic governance and market-oriented economies. This ideological divide was symbolized by the Iron Curtain, which represented not only physical barriers but also significant cultural and social differences. The Cold War further entrenched these divisions, leading to a prolonged period of tension and rivalry between the two regions.

Western Europe had a much stronger economy. Eastern Europe fell into poverty and more Eastern European countries became police states.
The division of Europe into mostly democratic Western Europe and Communist Eastern Europe emerged after World War II, during the Cold War period. This split was symbolized by the Iron Curtain, which represented the ideological boundary between the capitalist West, led by the United States and its NATO allies, and the communist East, dominated by the Soviet Union and its satellite states in the Warsaw Pact. This division influenced political, economic, and military dynamics in Europe for decades, leading to significant tensions and conflicts until the fall of communism in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s.
Greece is included in both Southern and Western Europe. Although geographically located in South-Eastern Europe, Greece is more commonly associated with Western Europe due to the advanced Ancient Greek civilization and the inequality of modernization between Greece and Eastern Europe.

The division of Eastern and Western Europe has not disappeared and is still present for geographical and political reasons. I assume you're referring to the Iron Curtain, which divided the democratic Western Europe from the communist Eastern Europe. This dissolved in the late 1980s/early 1990s, during the fall of communism. However, the Iron Curtain borders are still typically used to differentiate between Eastern and Western Europe.
