The Collapse of Communism

During the cold war and much of the 60s the USSR and the US were the worlds superpowers. The reason why communism fell is because during the arms race they wasted most of their money trying to create nuclear weapons and their economy fell. The communist countries that supported the USSR also collapsed because they got most of their money from soviet Russia so that's why they collapsed with them and then 15 countries were created out of the USSR.
