In the early 1990s, there was a sensation in the northern hemisphere, and after Gorbachev announced his resignation, the former superpower of the Soviet Union officially disintegrated and became 15 countries. In the coming period, many of the economies of these countries will have a Great Depression, Russia is saddled with huge Soviet-era foreign debt, and Ukraine finally begins to sell its old life. Why did the superpowers, which were equal to each other with the United States at the time, end so tragically, and why did the Soviet Union voluntarily disintegrate in 1991? There are four key reasons, one of which is related to China.
The economic problems of the Soviet Union have always been a key factor, and the warlike East Slavs have been fighting in all directions since the founding of the country, thus achieving the purpose of expanding the land. As a result of the protracted war, the Soviet economy remained in a state of constant tension, and even the strongest military capabilities would soon collapse without economic support. The United States, on the other hand, happened to have a war fortune and could consume each other with Russia. The last Soviet president, Mikhail Gorbachev, once tried to save the Soviet Union from economic degradation and carried out a series of reforms, but eventually triggered a new round of contradictions and turmoil. Gorbachev's dedication to the development of heavy industry, forgetting that people need to live in support, eventually triggered the explosion of Chernobe, the sky-high price and a large number of manpower consumption brought bad consequences to the Soviet Union at that time, the main region of the Soviet Union Russia appeared a large number of other forces, resulting in a huge consumption of resources, and eventually led to the complete collapse of the Soviet economy.
The second reason is internal problems, although the Soviet Union is a super alliance, there are more than a dozen countries organized together, but the internal contradictions have never been resolved. Many countries were forced to join the Soviet Union, but they dared not speak out, and the internal economic gap became the starting point of contradictions. There was little concerted effort between the three giants, and until the end when the Soviet Union was about to collapse, none of them were willing to come out to help solve the problem. They were vying for what they could get out of the collapsing Soviet Union.
The third reason is the fear and resistance of the Western countries to the Soviet Union, and the relations between the Soviet Union and the Western countries during the Cold War were extremely bad, and all countries stood on the side of the United States to resist the Soviet Union. Even if the Soviet Union finally disintegrated, their hatred of Russia did not diminish, and they were eager to dismember Russia together, and even many countries within the Soviet Union eventually fell out with Russia. During the Time of the Duchy of Mosco, the belligerent East Slavs annexed the surrounding countries one by one, casting a great shadow over the European nations. Prussia, Napoleon, and Hitler were defeated in the Soviet Union.
There are also certain reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union and China, the development of light industry in the Soviet Union has always been a serious flaw, and when it was good with China, China provided a lot of help. But this friendship between the two did not last long, and it was broken when Khrushchev came to power, and the two sides tore their faces at once, and the Soviet Union even repeatedly increased its troops to the Border of China. But at that time, China had already made good friends with the United States, so the Soviet Union did not dare to do anything. In order to contain China, the Soviet Union wanted to deploy troops in Afghanistan to threaten China, but the pro-Soviet president of Afghanistan was overthrown, breaking this plan and accelerating the trend of the Soviet Union wanting to go to war in Afghanistan, Afghanistan, with the support of various countries, plunged the Soviet Union into the swamp of war, the Soviet Union's internal economy was completely dragged down, and Afghanistan became the end of the Empire in the Middle East.
The collapse of the Soviet Union has fulfilled the dream of American hegemony, and Now Russia is still struggling to recover, looking for the strength of the Soviet Union, Putin has re-examined relations with other countries, and China and Russia have also released their previous grievances. The world needs nations to gradually become stronger, and it also needs harmony among nations, peace is not easy to come by, and it needs the efforts of everyone.
