These included Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary. Yugoslavia was under the control of its own local communist, the successful wartime Resistance leader "Tito", Josip Broz, and had an uneasy relationship with the Soviets while remaining under the general heading of nations within the Soviet sphere. The eastern part of Germany was set up as a separate "nation" completely dominated and occupied by the Soviets, called East Germany, but officially titled the German Democratic Republic. Berlin was in East Germany, but the western half of the city was under western control, with sectors for the British, French and Americans. In 1951 West Germany was created and West Berlin was a part of West Germany, though 70 miles deep in Soviet territory. The West German capital was at Bonn during this entire period, until the Soviet collapse and German reunification. The official name of West Germany was the Federal Republic of Germany. The Soviets did withdraw from parts of Austria after the war, but this was the sole instance of the Soviets letting loose of anything.
