Western Europe was largely defined by the Cold War, with the "Iron Curtain" separating it from the Warsaw Pact countries.
During the final stages of WWII the future of the whole of Europe had been decided between the Allies in the Yalta Conference, between the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston Churchill, the President of the USA Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the Premier of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin.
Eastern Europe was basically composed of all the countries occupied by Soviet armies in the wake of liberation from German occupation or Fascist regimes.

 First Europe Tutorial - Germanic Invasions
However, the invasions of the Germanic tribes, particularly those of the fifth century, were equally important in precipitating the internal crises of the western empire and in profoundly modifying the political map of the west.
Other Asian nomadic peoples who entered Europe were the Avars in the sixth century, the Bulgars in the sixth and seventh centuries, and the Magyars in the ninth century.
Despite their relatively small numbers, the invaders were able to invade western Europe because they were militarily superior to the Roman army, the frontiers were poorly defended, and because they likely met with little opposition from the Roman population.

Western Europe provides the largest group of banks in our analysis: 380 (58.9% of the total).

This is also perhaps indicative of the limited opportunity for growth in the more mature markets of western Europe and certainly indicative of the recent economic slowdown in the region.
