Collapse of Communism

The Collapse of Communism had a great effect on the world as well as the USSR. The cause for the Collapse of Communism was because many people were afraid, they were being threatened by nuclear annihilation. When people were following Communism they would only be provided by the government as long as they worked, where as when Communism crashed and Capitalism came into the sequence, persons were now able to provide for themselves.
Many people were annoyed at the fact that they couldn't cross the borders, without worrying about their lives, because those who tried to cross the borders between the Eastern and Western were shot and faced tear gas. So in turn they tore down the Berlin Wall, so that Eastern and Western Germany could form a more balanced economic and social ties with one another. But getting the cooperation they needed with one another wasn't very easy. The Soviet Union then separated into fifteen different Republics, many people rebelled against the newly formed Republics.
Many ethnic tensions arose across the country because everyone all of a sudden wanted self-rule and others wanted religious freedom. This started rivalry and everyone turned to Gorbachev , for they were angry at him for giving up the Soviet Unions role as the dominant force in Eastern Europe. As well as this, they were mostly afraid of losing their power and privileges. The sudden urge for them to overthrow the government lead to the end of the Soviet Union, which gave way for countries within the Soviet Union to gain their independence.
Dispite the many faults the rest of Eastern Europe mange to stay stable.
