I did a quick study and it said these countries were "under Soviet inflence" What happened? How did happen? What does Soviet influence actually mean? How much did Stalin and Krushchev get involved with these countries? Were all the countries the same? Did some try to fight? Were they occupied by the Soviet Union? If not how were they controlled? Why did the West let Stalin have so much power and influence?Did these countries want and embrace communism? I don't actually have a clue about any of this
