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.

The division in Europe at the end of World War II was primarily due to the ideological conflict between the Soviet Union and Western Allies, particularly the United States and Western European nations. As the war concluded, the USSR sought to expand its influence by establishing communist governments in Eastern Europe, while the West aimed to promote democracy and capitalism. This ideological clash led to the Iron Curtain's emergence, symbolizing the division between the capitalist West and the communist East, ultimately resulting in the Cold War. The division was solidified by various political, military, and economic factors, including the establishment of NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
The East-West Split refers to the ideological division of Europe during the Cold War, with countries in Eastern Europe under Soviet influence and those in Western Europe allied with the United States. This division was characterized by different political and economic systems, military alliances, and spheres of influence. It lasted from the end of World War II in 1945 until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

The symbolic representation of a sharp division in Europe was the Berlin Wall, erected in 1961. It physically and ideologically separated East and West Berlin, embodying the broader Cold War divide between the communist Eastern Bloc and the capitalist Western nations. The wall stood as a powerful icon of the struggle between opposing political ideologies until its fall in 1989, which marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Europe.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been shuttled back and forth over the years. Prior to the start of the 1987 regular season, the original Montreal Alouettes folded. That caused the Bombers to move to the Eastern Division for the first time. In 1996, the Baltimore Stallions moved to Montreal, at which time, the Bombers moved back to the Western division. After the 1996 season, the Ottawa Rough Riders folded, which again caused the Bombers to move to the Eastern division. In 2002, the Ottawa Renegades came into the league, and once again, the Blue Bombers moved to the Western division. And finally, at the end of the 2005 season, the Ottawa Renegades suspended operations, and once again, the Blue Bombers moved to the Eastern division.

The Berlin Wall best symbolized the divide between Democratic Western Europe and Communist Eastern Europe. Erected in 1961, it physically and ideologically separated East and West Berlin, representing the broader Cold War tensions between the capitalist West and the communist East. The wall became a powerful emblem of the struggle for freedom and democracy, ultimately falling in 1989, which marked the beginning of the end for Communist regimes in Eastern Europe.
The invisible line that separated communism from democracy in Europe during the Cold War was often referred to as the Iron Curtain. This metaphorical boundary divided Eastern Europe, where communist regimes were established under Soviet influence, from Western Europe, which embraced democratic governance and capitalist economies. The division symbolized not only political and ideological differences but also the physical and cultural barriers that existed between the two blocs. The fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 marked the beginning of the end for communist regimes in Eastern Europe.
