If there had been no WWII, then perhaps Stalin would not have feared another German attack and no Soviet
troops in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Most western countries believed at that time that the Soviet Union was determined to impose its style of communism on the entire world. The Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe seemed to give support to that fear. And then came NATO. So in essence, there might not be any North Atlantic Treaty Organization had it not been for "german deliriousness."
