What countries aligned with the soviet union after word war ii?

After World War II, several countries aligned with the Soviet Union, particularly in Eastern Europe, forming a bloc under communist influence. Notable examples include Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Germany, Romania, and Bulgaria. These nations became satellite states, adopting communist governments and aligning their policies with Soviet interests, largely due to the presence of the Red Army and the establishment of the Eastern Bloc. Additionally, some countries outside Europe, such as North Korea and Vietnam, also aligned with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
