During the 1990s, significant changes took place in Europe and Asia. The largest country, the Soviet Union, collapsed. The so-called "socialist camp", that is, a group of countries that had once signed the Warsaw Pact, also disintegrated. The states that were called "countries of people's democracies" appeared on the world map after the Second World War.

Instructions
Step 1
The treaty on the formation of the USSR was signed on December 30, 1922. It was signed by the RSFSR, the Ukrainian and Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republics and the Transcaucasian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which included Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. These new states appeared on part of the territory of pre-revolutionary Russia. But some countries that gained independence during the Great October Socialist Revolution did not join. These are countries such as Poland, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Gdansk, previously owned by Germany, became a free city.
Step 2
As for Europe, after the First World War the Austro-Hungarian Empire split into several countries. Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and several Balkan states appeared on its territory, which later became part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Step 3
The formation of new states took place in the Far East as well. In particular, the Mongolian People's Republic appeared on the world map almost simultaneously with the Soviet Union. Tuva and Buryatia existed as separate states at that time, in the 30s they joined the Soviet Union and entered the RSFSR as autonomy.
Step 4
The redivision of Europe began shortly before World War II. The Baltic countries and Moldova joined the Soviet Union. The territories of Ukraine and Belarus have changed - they included the western territories that were previously part of Poland. As for the Soviet Union itself, there were sixteen union republics in its composition in the last pre-war years: the RSFSR Ukrainian, Belarusian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Azerbaijan, Armenian, Georgian, Moldavian, Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik, Turkmen, Kyrgyz and Karelo- Finnish Soviet socialist republics. Subsequently, the Karelo-Finnish SSR became part of the RSFSR with the rights of autonomy.
Step 5
Major changes after World War II took place in Europe. In fact, three states were formed on the territory of Germany - the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic and West Berlin. The territory of the GDR was controlled by the Soviet Union, the FRG and West Berlin were in the zone of responsibility of the allies, that is, England, France and the United States.
Step 6
In addition to the GDR, the countries of the socialist camp also included Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia. The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia included Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro. By the 90s, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia disintegrated into separate states.
