Poland was reconstituted after the partitions of the 1790s had divided it between Germany, Austria, and Russia.
The early 19th century saw its decline, marked especially by the abolition of serfdom in Russia in 1861.
The new states were unable to form stable military alliances, and one by one were too weak to stand up against Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, which took them over between 1938 and 1945. ===World War II and the onset of the Cold War=== Russia ended its participation in the First World War in March 1918 and lost territory, as the Baltic countries and Poland became independent.

A surge of ethnic nationalism created a series of new states in Eastern Europe, validated by the Versailles Treaty of 1919.
Nearly all became democratic in the 1920s, but all of them (except Czechoslovakia and Finland) gave up democracy during the depression years of the 1930s, in favour of autocratic, strong-man or single-party states.

Winston Churchill, in his famous "Sinews of Peace" address of 5 March 1946, at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, stressed the geopolitical impact of the "iron curtain": ====Eastern Bloc during the Cold War to 1989==== Eastern Europe after 1945 usually meant all the European countries liberated and then occupied by the Soviet army.

Another definition was used during the 40 years of Cold War between 1947 and 1989, and was more or less synonymous with the terms Eastern Bloc and Warsaw Pact.
The Eastern Bloc with the onset of the Cold War in 1947 was mostly behind the Western European countries in economic rebuilding and progress.
When NATO was created in 1949, most countries of Eastern Europe became members of the opposing Warsaw Pact, forming a geopolitical concept that became known as the Eastern Bloc. First and foremost was the Soviet Union (which included the modern-day territories of Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova).
The movement was demonstratively independent of both the Soviet Union and the Western bloc for most of the Cold War period, allowing Yugoslavia and its other members to act as a business and political mediator between the blocs. The Socialist People's Republic of Albania broke with the Soviet Union in the early 1960s as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, aligning itself instead with China.
Albania formally left the Warsaw pact in September 1968 after the suppression of the Prague Spring.
When China established diplomatic relations with the United States in 1978, Albania also broke away from China.

Albania and especially Yugoslavia were not unanimously appended to the Eastern Bloc, as they were neutral for a large part of the Cold War period. ===Since 1989=== With the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, the political landscape of the Eastern Bloc, and indeed the world, changed.
In the German reunification, the Federal Republic of Germany peacefully absorbed the German Democratic Republic in 1990.
Most of the constitutions define directly or indirectly the economic system of the countries parallel to the democratic transition of the 1990s: free-market economy (sometimes complemented with the socially [and ecologically] oriented sector), economic development, or only economic rights are included as a ground for the economy. In the case of fiscal policy, the legislative, the executive and other state organs (Budget Council, Economic and Social Council) define and manage the budgeting.
In 1991, COMECON, the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union were dissolved.
Czechoslovakia peacefully separated into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993.
