The dueling spheres of influence of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. is a key causal factor of conflicts within Eastern Europe associated with the Cold War. The competing ideologies and geopolitical interests of these two superpowers led to various conflicts and tensions in the region, as each sought to exert their influence and control over Eastern European countries. This ultimately resulted in the division of Europe into Western and Eastern blocs, leading to the establishment of the Iron Curtain and the subsequent conflicts and struggles in Eastern Europe during the Cold War era.
