The collapse of the Soviet Union was due to a combination of factors:1. *Economic stagnation*: Inefficient centrally planned economy, lack of innovation, and declining oil prices.2. *Political repression*: Limited freedoms, censorship, and dissent.3. *Ideological shifts*: Loss of communist ideology's appeal, rise of nationalism.4. *External pressures*: Cold War arms race, Afghan War, and globalization.These internal and external forces interacted, weakening the Soviet system and ultimately leading to its collapse in 1991.Would you like more details?Add a comment

The collapse of the Soviet Union resulted from economic stagnation, political repression, and ideological shifts that eroded public trust. Internal pressures, like inefficient central planning and rising demands for reform, were compounded by external forces such as Cold War tensions and globalization, which exposed the system's vulnerabilities, accelerating its decline.Add a comment
