Answer:The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan caused relations to deteriorate between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1979.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was a socialist and communist state that spanned much of Eurasia from 1922 to 1991. It was nominally a federal union of fifteen national republics; in practice its government and economy were highly centralized until its final years. The country was a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, with Moscow as its capital within its largest and most populous republic, the Russian SFSR. Other major urban centers were Leningrad, Kiev, Minsk, Tashkent, Alma-Ata and Novosibirsk. It was the largest country in the world, covering over 22,402,200 square kilometres, and spanning eleven time zones.
