The correct answer can be Britain
Explanation:
The USA was one of the forces that lead to the overall downfall of the Soviet Union. Starting with the cold war in 1947, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a period of militaristic tensions. The Cold War was an arms race between the two superpowers, and had severe, negative, economic effects on both of the countries. This was one way that the United States contributed to the collapse of the USSR. In addition, the states of the Soviet Union didn't allow their people to leave the country, in fear that they would stay somewhere else. But, when people finally figured out that life might actually be better in the United States, people became angry. A final factor was the Berlin Wall. After World War I, Germany was divided among the Allied Powers: France, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. But, the Soviet Union, in a way, was unhappy with the way that things turned out. So, it decided to build a wall dividing the communist and capitalist parts of Germany. But, like any wall, it couldn't stay up forever. Eventually, a man by the name of Mikhail Gorbachev came along and started new unprecedented ideas, glasnost and perestroika(openness and freedom). This, along with pressure from <em>the United States </em>(namely president Reagan) caused the Berlin Wall to come down, which was a final factor (at least in this list) in causing the Soviet Union to fall.
Answer:
Spanish-American War Begins
The ensuing war was pathetically one-sided, since Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States.
In the early morning hours of May 1, 1898, Commodore George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines. He destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in two hours before pausing the Battle of Manila Bay to order his crew a second breakfast. In total, fewer than 10 American seamen were lost, while Spanish losses were estimated at over 370. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August.
The elusive Spanish Caribbean fleet under Adm. Pascual Cervera was located in Santiago harbor in Cuba by U.S. reconnaissance. An army of regular troops and volunteers under Gen. William Shafter (including then-secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt and his 1st Volunteer Cavalry, the “Rough Riders”) landed on the coast east of Santiago and slowly advanced on the city in an effort to force Cervera’s fleet out of the harbor.
Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition.
Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the brief but momentous war.
