The Soviet Union was once a world power and the United States is not divided into top and bottom, the strength is very strong, and the Soviet Union is a socialist country formed by 15 countries, but the Soviet Union only existed for 69 years, in 1991, the Soviet Union took the initiative to disintegrate, the Soviet Union at that time in science and technology and military development almost far exceeded the United States, and just under such a strong Soviet Union, actually took the initiative to disintegrate, I believe many people are very confused, of course, there are many people want to know what the root cause is? One of the reasons is related to China.
The first point is mainly related to the economy, we all know that the predecessor of the Soviet Union is Soviet Russia, that is, people usually say that Tsarist Russia in history, Tsarist Russia often uses war to obtain its own country's territory, that is, it often invades and occupies other countries, so Tsarist Russia has become the largest country in the world in terms of territorial area, you know, the larger the territory, the more economic development will be spent, but because of the years of war, the domestic economy is getting worse and worse, because there will definitely be losses in war. At that time, there was no economy to manage the plundered territories, and then the domestic economy became poorer and poorer, of course, there was a major reason that the Soviet Union only attached great importance to heavy industry at that time, and neglected a lot of light industry development, so it also led to the collapse of the domestic economy, the military strength was very strong, but the economic strength was very dismal.
The second point is the difference in culture, the Soviet Union at that time a lot of territory are occupied, and these small countries have their own culture and national beliefs, the cultural differences between countries are relatively large, so they are all invaded by the Soviet Union, they had to become part of the Soviet Union, they are very much in their hearts want to break away from the Soviet Union, but they do not have the strength to compete with the Soviet Union, can only be said to be unconvinced, so in the end the cohesion of the Soviet Union is very weak, each one wants to be independent.
The third point is that Yeltsin wanted an end to the Cold War. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union began to carry out the Cold War for several 10 years, although the Soviet Union was indeed on par with the United States militarily, and even surpassed the United States, at that time even the entire Western countries were not as good as the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Economy really could not hold up, at this time, Yeltsin hoped to end the Cold War, he thought that as long as the Cold War ended, the Soviet Union would not suffer from the exclusion and hostility of western countries, but in fact, after the Cold War, everyone invested in the development of the economy together. Many of the 15 countries that were dismantled after the collapse of the Soviet Union have turned to the West, so the voluntary disintegration of the Soviet Union has not only failed to solve the problem, but the situation has become more and more serious.
The fourth point is related to China, it is said that when the founding of New China, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union was very good, and at that time the Soviet Union helped our military industry a lot, during that time the Soviet Union also helped our country to develop the atomic bomb, but at that time China also helped the Soviet Union, the development of light industry, at that time there were many countries very envious of the relationship between our two countries, but after the Vietnam War, the relations between China and the United States were also eased. But then the relationship between China and the Russian Soviet Union broke down, the Soviet Union also withdrew all the experts and equipment from our country, China of course will regard him as an enemy, and there have been territorial disputes with our country, and then there is no light industry in our country, and eventually the Soviet economy has repeatedly declined, and it has changed the fate of not understanding the body.
In fact, the time of the Soviet Union's glory lasted for several decades, from glory to decline the whole process is also to give the whole world a wake-up call, a country's comprehensive strength is very important, even in a certain aspect is particularly strong, but if it is only from a unilateral development, it will lead to a distortion of the domestic situation, and even fall into a very serious point, just like the Soviet Union will still disintegrate, no matter how strong the military force is, there is no way, so that people must be comprehensive, to be developed in all aspects, so that they can gain a foothold in the world.
