Answer:
China began to emerge as a global superpower
Former Soviet possessions faced corruption, poverty, and changing norms.
What were the causes and consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union?
These could be considered negative outcomes/consequences of the fall of the USSR:
- Initial attempts to provide basic public services failed, leaving the general population without utilities.
- Mafia-related crime rose, as did corruption in the government as a whole.
- Although not necessarily connected, 800,000 Russians killed themselves between 1991 and 2011. Particularly, a lot of government employees killed themselves.
- Without a clear-cut prospective adversary, NATO started interfering in the Balkans. Due to the absence of its principal ideological rival, the United States increased its dominance. China also increased its influence.
- The former Soviet Union's member states struggled to change their political systems and took some time to establish stable ones.
- Without the USSR's financial assistance, certain nations experienced destitution. Some regions, particularly in the east of the former USSR, were unable to rely on the oil exports that the Soviet Union offered, which drove them into poverty.
- One of the worst outcomes of the process was arguably hyperinflation, which became a significant issue for many former USSR governments.
- Wars sprang out as a result of nationalism and regionalism, which led to new territories trying to become independent. The difficult economic shift made individuals feel even more left leaning.
- Due to its previously distributed structure throughout the SSRs and its current problem of a lack of direction, Russia's military suffered.
- Once more, Russia momentarily lagged behind in technical development.
- The Russian government could still be recovering.
Some of them certainly would have happened otherwise, while others might not even be totally tied to the collapse of the USSR. There are possibly more products that belong on this list, while some probably don't.
Thank you.
