The correct answer is B) there were no Soviet troops in Yugoslavia.
President Tito of Yugoslavia was able to resist pressures from the Soviet Union in 1948 to become a Soviet satellite state because there were no Soviet troops in Yugoslavia.
Josep Broz, better known as Tito, became President of Yugoslavia on April 7, 1963. He and other leaders played key roles during World War II when they started the rebellion against the German troops that had occupied the country. The Soviet Union helped Yugoslavia to liberate it from the Nazis and Tito was named head of the Yugoslavian government. In 1948, Joseph Stalin tried to depose Tito but he was able to resist pressures from the Soviet Union to become a Soviet satellite state because there were no Soviet troops in Yugoslavia.
