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.
Immediately after World War II, Europe was in ruins. Western Europe had ideas about how to handle Germany politically, while Russia wanted to make Germany a communist country. Eventually, Germany was split between the west and the east, and strong distrust grew between the west and Russia. Ultimately, this political climate lead to the Cold War.
WWI was fought primarily in Europe, with the exception of northern Africa. It is called 'world war' because it was fought by nations across the globe on the battlefield of Europe but not necessarily the whole world. The empires of Britain and France meant more countries were drawn into the conflict. The war in Europe was fought on three fronts; the Western, the Eastern and the Italian.
As of today we got (major allies: UK, France , germany, Taiwan, japan , south Korea , Russia (for the most part), Australia, Canada and pretty much all of western Europe.
