Answer:

<h2>The Soviet army looked ineffective as casualties mounted. </h2>

Explanation:

It's true that the United States funneled military funding for weapons to the mujahideen, but that was typical for a Cold War conflict.  The significant reality that contributed to the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union was the fact that the mighty Soviet military machine no longer looked so mighty.  The Afghan resistance to Soviet-sponsored communism could not be overcome by the Soviet troops.  During the course of the decade-long conflict (from December 1979 until February 1989), approximately 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and another 35,000 wounded.

<em>The Washington Post</em> reported in 1988, after the USSR had been struggling in its war with the Afghans for nearly a decade: "Afghanistan is Russia's Vietnam -- possibly with even greater consequences for the Soviet Union."

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union began almost exactly or even before World War Two ended. Now, events like The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe, Iran Crisis of 1946, Greek Civil War, and so many events signaled Soviet aggression. Meanwhile, Churchill was very paranoid of Stalin and had been spying on the Soviets.  Double agents were popping up everywhere, and fears boiled through Allied countries.
