This Cold War enemy of the United States "collapsed" in 1991 after years of economic and political turmoil

Answer 1

Answer:

The Soviet union was the Cold War enemy of the United States that collapsed in 1991 after years of economic and political turmoil.

Explanation:

• The process of the degradation of the Soviet union had begun in 1985 itself as a result of the increasing unrest among the national republics.
• With the implementation of Belavezha Accords, the republics that were formerly a part of the USSR were granted independence in order to allow them to function as independent nations.
• The dissolution of the USSR was a result of years of political conflicts and economic downgrading of the Soviet union.
