(Soviet satellites)During the Cold War, Eastern European countries like Poland and Hungary were called Soviet satellites. A satellite is a person, country, or object (such as a moon) whose actions and movement is controlled by a larger, more powerful person, country, or object. During the Cold War, Eastern European countries were called Soviet satellites because they were controlled by the Soviet Union. If these countries tried to act in an independent way, the Soviet Union would send in its army and force them back into line.

The Warsaw Pact was the alliance that was made by communist Eastern European countries that the Soviet Union controlled. It was a military alliance that was formed in 1955, during the Cold War.
At the end of the Cold War, many Eastern European countries experienced significant political and economic transformations, but certain aspects remained unchanged. For instance, the legacy of authoritarian governance persisted in many regions, as former communist party members often retained influence in political structures. Additionally, social challenges such as economic inequality and ethnic tensions continued to affect these countries, highlighting that while regimes changed, some underlying issues remained deeply rooted.
The Cold War significantly impacted Europe's economic life by creating a division between Eastern and Western blocs. Western European countries, under U.S. influence, benefited from the Marshall Plan, which stimulated economic recovery and integration, leading to the formation of the European Economic Community. Conversely, Eastern Europe experienced centralized economic planning and limited trade with the West, leading to stagnation and inefficiencies. This geopolitical rivalry shaped trade patterns, investment flows, and economic policies across the continent.
