Joining the Warsaw Pact solidified the Soviet Union's influence over Eastern European nations, creating a military alliance that countered NATO. It led to the suppression of political dissent and the establishment of one-party communist regimes, often enforced through military intervention, as seen in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. This alliance also fostered economic and military cooperation among member states, but often at the cost of national sovereignty and independence. Consequently, the Warsaw Pact reinforced the division of Europe during the Cold War.
