In what way(s) did the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 hurt the U.S.S.R. and begin the decline of communism?

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

For the Soviet Union, the intervention proved extraordinarily costly in a number of ways. While the Soviets never released official casualty figures for the war in Afghanistan, U.S. intelligence sources estimated that as many as 15,000 Russian troops died in Afghanistan, and the economic cost to the already struggling Soviet economy ran into billions of dollars. The intervention also strained relations between the Soviet Union and the United States nearly to the breaking point. President Jimmy Carter harshly criticized the Russian action, stalled talks on arms limitations, issued economic sanctions, and even ordered a boycott of the 1980 Olympics held in Moscow.

yuradex [85]

The correct answer is B) They believed it gave the government too much power in the economy.

One way in which Roosevelt wanted to accomplish this was by creating several different federal work programs. This includes programs like the Works Progress Administration, Civilian Conservation Corp, etc.

However, conservatives felt that the economy works best when the government has little involvement. This is why they opposed these federal programs.
