Which best describes why stalin believed that having satellite states would prevent future wars? 1) communism would make inequality a less likely source of conflict. 2) invaders would be afraid to attack such a unified force. 3) these countries would be indebted to and protect the soviet union. 4) spreading communism throughout europe would unify nations. first answer gets marked as brainleiest

The correct answer is (3). Stalin believed that having satellite states would help prevent future wars because satellite countries would be indebted to and protect the Soviet Union. After the Yalta conference in 1945, Stalin argued that the Soviet Union should lead in rebuilding Eastern Europe and get ahold of the “satellite states” (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and East Germany), but allow them free elections and independent future plans. He didn’t hold up to this agreement, but indebted this countries around Soviet Union and used them as a shield. These states were called “satellites” because they were held in the orbit by the gravitational pull of the Soviet Union.
