Fall of the Socialist Block
DISSOLUTION OF THE SOVIET UNION
ON DECEMBER 31, 1991.
THE MAIN CAUSES OF THE FALL OF THE SOVIET SYSTEM WERE:
• THE COLD WAR ARMS RACE
• THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN
• THE IMPLEMENTATION OF “GLASNOST” AND “PERESTROIKA”
THE USSR, BEFORE THIS SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CRISIS,
WAS MADE UP OF A GREAT DIVERSITY OF COUNTRIES, WHICH AT THE SAME TIME INVOLVED A VARIED MOSAIC OF CULTURES, CUSTOMS AND PEOPLES.
THE FORMER SUPERPOWER WAS REPLACED BY 15 INDEPENDENT COUNTRIES:
• ARMENIA
• AZERBAIJAN
• BELARUS
• ESTONIA
• GEORGIA
• KAZAKHSTAN
• KYRGYZSTAN
• LATVIA
• LITHUANIA
• MOLDOVA
• RUSSIA
• TAJIKISTAN
• TURKMENISTAN
• UKRAINE
• UZBEKISTAN
IN 1989, THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL OCCURRED, WHICH DIVIDED GERMANY SINCE THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR BETWEEN SOCIALISTS AND CAPITALISTS.
