As a result of world war 2 the nations eastern Europe did what?

Following the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, Eastern Europe was divided into two spheres of influence: the Western Bloc, aligned with the United States, and the Eastern Bloc, aligned with the Soviet Union. The Eastern Bloc countries, also known as the Soviet satellite states, included East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania.

The Soviet Union imposed communist governments on these countries and tightly controlled their political, economic, and social systems. This led to a period of repression and stagnation in Eastern Europe, which lasted until the late 1980s when the communist regimes began to collapse.
