Let's say that in mid-to-late 1945, relations between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies so severely that a full-scale war breaks out. A year or two of fighting in Europe and a couple of atomic bombs dropped on major Russian cities later, the USSR surrenders to the United States and Britain.

So, what does the postwar map of Europe look like in this world, given that the Western Allies will be free to draw it almost however they see fit? Could we expect significantly different Borders for Poland? Germany? Romania? Finland? Any other central or Eastern European states? With respect to the Soviet Union (though in all likelihood the postwar Russian government won't be communist), will the Americans and British insist upon independence for only the Baltic and perhaps the Caucasus, or would they go as far as trying to secure independence for Belarus, Ukraine, the Central Asian states, and perhaps even other parts of Russia that aren't even independent in OTL 2017?

Finally, whatever the map ends up being, what would be the long-term implications of it?
