Soviet influences expanded regaining the territories that were previously invaded by Germany or other powers (in the case of Baltic states). The reasons were not only based the military results by that time (1945-1948) but by the notion that socialism was a new and more efficient way of settling issues in the European and capitalist world, thereby causing the empathy from some neighbour states and also expanding with the introduction of "puppet states" loyal to the Soviet Union.
Examples of this were: the government created in Poland, Checoslovakia or some other socialist republics.
