The Western Bloc, also known as the Capitalist Bloc, is an informal, collective term for countries that were officially allied with the 
United States during the Cold War of 1947–1991. While the 
NATO member states, in 
Western Europe and Northern America, were pivotal to the bloc, it included many other countries, in the broader Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa with histories of anti-Soviet, 
anti-communist and, in some cases 
anti-socialist, ideologies and policies.
History
The Western Bloc started with the Cold War in 1947, and began to repel 
Soviet influence. After USSR collapsed in 1991, the Western Bloc transformed into the modern West of the post-Cold War era.
