Question

Why did The USSR(Soviet Union) collapse?

Answer 1

Their president formally disbanded the Union

Answer 2

The USSR collapsed because of internal problems.

Some of these problems include:

- Weakening cooperation between states under the USSR and Russia: This caused contention, and with failing economy and a harsh government, these 'states' decided to break away from the USSR
- Failing Economy: Because of the way the USSR was structured, it was not able to last long.


These are just a few reasons
