Question

Why might the Soviet Union have felt had to spend more of its resources on the military than the United States did

Answer 1

The Soviet Union felt the need to spend more of its resources on its military than their American counterparts because they needed to maintain more control.

Why did the Soviet Union spend more on their resources?

The Soviet Union was a repressive dictatorship which meant that they needed to use the military to maintain control in the country and in other Communist states.

The U.S. was democratic and did not need as much military commitment and so the Soviets used more resources.
