Question

Which of the following is one event that led to the decline of the U.S.S.R. ?

Answer 1

The economy was strained because of the arms race with the United States.

Explanation:

• Namely, in order to maintain the pace in arms race and the global balance of power with its main rival, as the economically weaker entrant in the competition, the USSR had to invest much more of its national income or gross domestic product for military purposes than the US, which inevitably reflected both on economic development and the standard of the Soviet population.
• The Cold War-led armaments race has led to a steady increase in the production and possession of both nuclear and conventional SRTs primarily in superpower and block arsenals and, in the case of conventional armaments, in many other countries.
