Collapse of Communism


Communism collapsed in USSR ands East Europe because it just wasn't the greatest way to run a country. The method only sounded great on paper or word of mouth but when put into action it all crumbled and failed. People got tried of working more then someone else yet getting the same pay. Most figured it easy to just not do anything and they'll still get paid.

The Berlin wall in Germany was another major problem. The Berlin Wall separated East and West Germany. You see, East Germany was a communist country and didn't want anyone to enter there part of Germany. Another purpose of the Berlin Wall, was to stop people from coming in because East Germany wanted that. Those that tried to cross to the other side were shot. After 28 years of being blocked by one another they began to make certain holes within the wall for traveling. Luckily it didn't stop there. More and more holes were put for more traveling and even for walking though. On 1989, did the wall finally come down.

The USSR eventually collapsed. It soon broke into fifteen different
Republics when the people revolted, which were Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Lativa, Lithuania, Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Because of the collapse in USSR it affected the economy greatly, because now people had to do this for themselves. Seeing as they were under the government control for so long and the government gave then what they wanted, the people didn't have that anymore. They had to find jobs, the higher paying the better they also had to fend for themselves.

When the USSR the world became more relaxed but at the same time more rioty. Relax because people stopped worrying about getting hit by atomic weapons and didn't fear an atomic war anymore. But at the same time rioty because people turned against cummunism and anger mobs forms to destroy things that reminded them about communism.
