The Collapse of Communism


The USSR and the U.S. were two nation who lead the world's superpowers during the Cold War. As the WWII ended, both the countries competed against each others. Even though they were racing each others with powers and armed with atomic weapons they did not get in to any actual fighting. The mere cost of keeping up with each other was high for both countries. So USSR could not keep on the track beacuse of financial problems.
This effected the whole country and their economy soon collapsed at the high price for competing with the U.S. Since their main source of money camed from Soviet Russia, all the countries they supported collapsed to. East and West Germans were startled wehn they were not allowed to croos the border. Many of them gathered in large groups, facing tear gas and bullets to try and cross the border, but to no aival.
