Detailed explanation-1: -Although in 1945 the Communist world was limited to the Soviet Union, it rapidly spread to Central and Eastern Europe, forming a protective buffer zone for the USSR. Communist propaganda was greatly helped by the presence of the Soviet army in the countries that it had liberated in Central and Eastern Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Poland and other states between Germany and the Soviet Union have sometimes been described as buffer states, both as non-communist states before World War II and later as socialist states of the Eastern Bloc.
Detailed explanation-3: -The United States was committed to free and democratic elections in Eastern Europe, while the Soviet Union wanted a buffer zone of friendly countries in Eastern Europe to protect it from future attacks from the West.
Detailed explanation-4: -On 17 September 1939, Joseph Stalin annexed the eastern part of Poland and, in the following year, the Baltic States. This Soviet expansion was very similar to the Russian colonisation of previous centuries.
