Iron Curtain

(A+)They were under the control of the Soviet Union.
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.
The Soviet Union significantly influenced the creation of communist governments in Eastern and Western Europe after World War II. Following the war, the USSR expanded its influence by supporting communist parties and movements in various countries, particularly in Eastern Europe, leading to the establishment of socialist states. This influence was marked by the imposition of Soviet-style governance and economic systems, which were often backed by military force. In contrast, Western Europe saw limited communist influence, largely due to the presence of the United States and its efforts to contain communism through initiatives like the Marshall Plan.
