What happened when satellite states tried to become independent of the soviet union?
Did any of these satellite states successfully gain independence from the Soviet Union?
Yes, eventually some of these satellite states did gain independence from the Soviet Union. For example, in 1989, the communist government in Poland was toppled and free elections were held. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 also led to the reunification of East and West Germany.
