	Eastern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many sources the term "Eastern Europe" still encompasses most, or all, such European countries that until the end of the "Cold War" (around 1989) were under communist regimes or direct Soviet control, i.e., the former "Eastern Bloc".
		The term "Eastern Europe" first arose in the 19th century and was used to describe an area that was falling behind the rest of Europe economically.
		Most of Europe's historically Protestant and Roman Catholic countries (with the exception of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia, and the various European microstates) were now EU members, while most of Europe's historically Eastern Orthodox countries (with the exception of Greece and Cyprus) were outside the EU.

		These countries will now be part of those Western structures in which Germany itself is firmly embedded; and the same structures will now allow these countries to deal with their Eastern neighbour in a spirit of partnership but from a position of strength.
		If one looks closely at the motives of countries like Italy and Spain and even Poland, they were laying down a marker that they were no longer prepared to have their views and interest ignored by Paris and Berlin, and certainly not on an issue as important as the future of the transatlantic relationship.
		It is the ability of these countries to continue the process of political and economic reform and the rebuilding of their societies started in 1989.

	Eastern Europe
		Invaded by Germany during WWI and WWII, the countries of this region emerged after WWII as a communist satellites, or as fully absorbed republics of the Soviet Union (later, Russia)--which established its dominance over most of Eastern Europe and forced communist governments on East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
		Eastern Europe is a collection of "formers": Former eastern bloc countries that were, until recently, satellites of the former Soviet Union; former Soviet Republics that, until recently, were portions of the huge country of the Soviet Union; former pieces of Yugoslavia that, until recently, were united under a single totalitarian government.
		There are still a handful of Eastern European countries are not even close to fulfilling the requirements to join either group, but all in this region look to gain with opening economies and ties to the rest of the world since the collapse of communism.

	The Warsaw Pact
		The postwar military establishments in Eastern Europe consisted of rival communist and noncommunist wartime antifascist resistance movements, national units established on Soviet territory during the war, prewar national military commands, and various other armed forces elements that spent the war years in exile or fighting in the West.
		Serving with the "agreement of their host countries," these successors to the wartime and postwar Soviet advisers for the allied armies equaled the East European ministers of defense in rank and provided a point of contact for the commander in chief, Joint Command, and Soviet General Staff inside the national military establishments.
		Both countries sent economic and administrative advisers to assist in the management of state- directed industrial enterprises in the Third World as part of a Soviet campaign to demonstrate the advantages of the "socialist path of development" to potential Third World allies.

		Exports in the Middle Eastern countries should increase from $800 million to $900 million as a result of the tariff cuts agreed on in the Uruguay Round, according to Yeats.

		As a result of what was achieved in the Uruguay Round, the average OECD non tariff barrier coverage ratio for Middle Eastern exports should fall from a current 10 percent to between 1 and 2 percent.
