Respond to the following 2 posts from my classmates
1. The spread of communism was the primary challenge. The Soviet Union wanted it to spread to many especially to the European countries. The United States did not want this to happen and they responded by trying to reduce or eliminate this by creating Marshall Plan. Also the destruction of things such as cities, roads, and railways were rebuilt and help to stimulate the economy again. The US was also dealing with the Soviet Cuban Missiles building sites, which if deployed would destroy most of Eastern United States. President Kennedy gave a firm command for them to stand down and they did. Also, independence was a challenge to many nations post war. They struggled with independence economic and political.
2.A number of events and uprisings in 1980 are led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. … Last, in the Soviet Union, the failed August Coup in 1991 led to the end of the Communist Party in USSR. All of these events led to the end of communism and the making of a democratic Russia. Within a year, the Soviet Union had ceased to exist. While it is, for all practical purposes, impossible to pinpoint a single cause for an event as complex and far-reaching as the dissolution of a global superpower, a number of internal and external factors were certainly at play in the collapse of the U.S.S.R.
