The Collapse of Communism

The collapse of communism was a result of the end to the cold war. After Stalin became leader nobody really believed in communism. Stalin made a bad decision and the "Class War" was declared. Many peasants were heavily affected and they were struggling to survive. The Soviet economy was declining and so the power of the armed forces was decreasing. Russians did not have enough money to support other allied communism countries. The economy of communist countries such as Cuba and USSR began to collapse. The waste of money on military and oppressive government could not hold up the economy. By the 1990s Russia collapsed. The Berlin Wall was the gigantic wall structure that separated East Germany from West Germany. It was a political boundary between USSR and US. East Germany was part of the Warsaw Pact, and West Germany was part of the NATO. Anyone who tried to cross the wall was shot and killed. After 30 years the Berlin wall was torn down by East and Western Germany once divided by communism and democracy. They were now joined together and formed social and economic ties. The wall was torn down because people began to want to travel. Roads were being built, but the people became tired and attacked the wall and destroyed it.
Communism was supposed to be an equal share of everything but instead people became very poor, this decreased the popularity of communism. After the fall of Communism the Soviets had to start all over again. Communism weighed down the USSR, and its collapse made the United States one of the biggest powers in the world. In 1991 the Soviet Union split up to many different countries. The Soviet red hammer flag was replaced with the original flag that was made up of three stripes .It became a Democratic Nation as well as all of the other parts that split up.
