Stalin wanted Eastern Europe because…..
USSR was devastated (human loss & the land) by 3yrs of war. He wanted & needed a protective barrier (these countries) so any future conflicts would be faught in countries other than the USSR.
(His country was attacked from the west in both WWI & WWII)

Stalin’s Eastern Europe
PolandHungaryRomaniaBulgariaCzechoslovakiaE. Germany

What about Yugoslavia & Greece you ask?
YugoslaviaPeople didn’t want to replace Nazis with Stalin. Their leader, Josip Tito a wartime guerrilla leader, won 96% vote. Stalin left them alone.
GreeceAttempted to takeover Greece, but it failed. This lead to the “Truman Doctrine.”

So, what happened to cause tension?
Stalin did have free elections………but they were rigged. He used his troops who were already in the countries from the war to help the communist win.
Ex. Poland 1947 election = 400 of 450 seats were hand-picked communist
There were free elections…………….as long as the communist won. Therefore, he did keep his word, through his eyes at least.

“From Stettin in the north to Trieste in the south, an iron curtain has descended over Europe. -Winston Churchill’s speech in Fulton

How could he do this?
The Western Allies just got out of a terrible war. The U.S. and Britain were not prepared to fight him. Stalin’s Red Army was the most powerful land army in the world with far more troops if necessary.
Many of the Eastern Europeans countries were grateful to be free from the Nazis. The USSR helped them in …………………the beginning.
The Red Army helped control Eastern Europeans under Stalin’s “Sphere of Influence.”
-territories that Red Army controlled
Eastern Europeans learned quickly not to oppose Stalin because the Secret Police harmed or even killed them if they did. -Stalin’s men who searched for those who
opposed communism. Those who did ended up hurt or dead
He controlled the press, & didn’t allow people speak freely about the government.
