What are the purposes of satellites?
After World War II the Soviet Union occupied much of Eastern Europe. Stalin promised to hold free elections “as soon as
possible” but that never happened. Communists
controlled the governments of Eastern Europe using
them as Satellite Nations. The Soviets backed harsh
dictators, citizens were imprisoned, Winston
Churchill called this an “iron curtain” as it shut out
Eastern Europe from the democratic West.
Opposing Alliances
In 1955, the Soviet Union formed its own military alliance called the Warsaw Pact.
· The Warsaw Pact was made up of Eastern European countries dominated by Soviet control.
· In 1949, the U.S. formed an alliance with friendly European countries called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
· The members of NATO would defend each other against any Soviet aggression.
“The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms. If We falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world– and we shall surely endanger the welfare of our own nation.” ------Harry Truman, Speech, March 12, 1947
