Question

Which of the following led directly to the fall of the Soviet Union?

A. Not enough food being grown
B. Too much money spent on consumer products
C. Too much spending on the military
D. Not enough taxes being collected

Answer 1

Too much spending on the military led directly to the fall of the Soviet Union.

Option: (C)

Explanation:

• The 'Soviet Union' was much involved in producing goods that were not at all in demand.

• On the other hand, whatever GDP growth they could achieve from such unintelligent economic activities, most of it was being spent on the upgrading of military might.

• Negligible to none spendings were being made on providing welfare facilities to the public.

• This fanned a popular outcry against the government and led to the fall of the 'Soviet Union'.
