East Germany
The Allies had given the USSR control of the Eastern sector of Germany. It was run by the USSR effectively under Red Army control until the creation of the German Democratic Republic in 1949.
The rest of Eastern Europe
- By 1948, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Albania and Bulgaria all had pro-Soviet Communist governments in control – effectively, Stalin ruled Eastern Europe too.
- Yugoslavia also had a Communist government, led by Josip Tito - but it wasn’t pro-soviet, so Stalin opposed Tito’s power.
