At their core, antitrust laws are meant to break up businesses who work together to act like monopolies. Monopolies reduce the amount of competition in the market place, as this term indicates when one company has cornered a share of the market. For example, if only one company made cellphones, this would reduce competition and increase the price of phones since you can only them from one place.

By implementing antitrust laws, the government is aiming to make sure that there are no monopoly like coalitions. Monopolies have a negative effect on the consumers, as they can manipulate prices.

Answer: EASTERN EUROPE

Context/explanation:

US president Franklin Roosevelt, British prime minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet premier Joseph Stalin, the leaders of the Allies in World War II, met at Yalta in February, 1945.

Churchill and Roosevelt pushed strongly for Stalin to allow free elections to take place in the nations of Europe after the war. At that time Stalin agreed, but there was a strong feeling by the other leaders that he might renege on that promise. The Soviets never did allow those free elections to occur. Later, Winston Churchill wrote, ""Our hopeful assumptions were soon to be falsified." Stalin and the Soviets felt they needed the Eastern European nations as satellites to protect their own interests. A line of countries in Eastern Europe came into line with the USSR and communism. Churchill later would say an "iron curtain" had fallen between Western and Eastern Europe.
