Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt decided on the postwar division of Europe at the Yalta Conference. For that reason, American forces ended their advance at the Elba River, leaving Russia to take Berlin. In essence, this gave Russia control of East Germany which fell in the Soviet sphere, and the Western Allies (Britain, France, and the US) divided West Germany.
The dividing line between the Soviets and US/allies.
In WWI: It made Wilson control the others, whilst France, Britain and Italy babbled over the defeated Germany, Wilson decided to cash in on their dept and make plans to help the economies of Europe which would help USA. Britain and France didn't agree about Germany, whilst Britain wanted to take a more helping role, France wanted their complete annihilation. In WWII: Soviet Russia became less and less friendly with USA, to the point the 'Cold War started. Britain always stood by USA, making hostility towards Russia stronger. France were neutral.
