Wealthy industrialists knew how to invest and exploit the system which wasn't used to heavy industry so they amassed huge amounts of wealth through monopolies and trusts while the common person was struggling to survive and had to work in dreadful conditions. This led to many people starting to support socialist tendencies in order to improve their living standard and the way they were treated in the society.<span />
The money that got printed off and all of the other money lost value
Answer: the answer is 2 it gave the Chinese a greater force to be reckoned with on the battlefield
The best way to describe the Soviet-Afghan is by calling it a failure, due to the Soviets being forced to withdrawal. One main reason they lost is because they didn’t have a good counter to guerrilla warfare, and continued loosing battles because of it. There were also various other reasons (clothing, no initiative in commanders, etc).
Here are why the other answers are incorrect:
1. The Soviets were not actually able to defeat the afghan insurgents (Mujahideen), and were forced to leave (as answer 3 says).
2. The insurgents and Soviets suffered numerous casualties, but it is correct in the sense of calling the invasion a failure.
4. I don’t believe any reforms were introduced as a direct result of the Soviet-Afghan war.
Hope this helps!
