ello and welcome to our YouTube channel. Today we're going to be talking about the collapse of the Soviet Union, and we're going to do it in just one minute.

So, the Soviet Union was a socialist state that was formed in 1922 after the Russian Revolution. It was made up of 15 republics, and was led by the Communist Party. However, by the 1980s, the Soviet Union was facing a number of economic and political problems.

One of the main issues was the fact that the Soviet Union was spending more money on its military than it was making in profits. This led to a severe economic downturn, and many people began to lose faith in the government.

At the same time, there was a growing movement for democracy and political reform in the Soviet Union. This was led by people like Mikhail Gorbachev, who became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985.

Gorbachev tried to introduce reforms such as glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), but these efforts were met with resistance from hardline communists.

In the end, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, with the 15 republics becoming independent nations. This marked the end of the Cold War, and the start of a new era in international relations.
