Question

Which of the following led directly to the fall of the Soviet Union?

Answer 1

Answer:

Too much spending on the military led directly to the fall of the Soviet Union.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

• The 'Soviet Union' was much involved in producing goods that were not at all in demand.

• On the other hand, whatever GDP growth they could achieve from such unintelligent economic activities, most of it was being spent on the upgrading of military might.

• Negligible to none spendings were being made on providing welfare facilities to the public.

• This fanned a popular outcry against the government and led to the fall of the 'Soviet Union'.
