Similarly, America also offered aid, but with more significant incentives, which led to greater alliances. As a result, the Soviet Union obtained control of Eastern Europe, while America secured Western Europe and Canada. The Soviet Union faced economic losses in Afghanistan, and America aimed to keep them engaged in the region.

Germany had also created a group with East Germany, Poland, Romania, and Hungary called the Warsaw Pact which was made to oppose NATO and help turn more countries Communist but all the members of the group were Soviets.
