Detailed explanation-1: -A satellite state or dependent state is a country that is formally independent in the world but under heavy political, economic, and military influence or control from another country.
Detailed explanation-2: -The satellite nations of the Cold War were Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and East Germany.
