To determine the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union on the end of segregation in South Africa, we need to analyze the historical context and events that took place.
Firstly, it is important to note that the collapse of the Soviet Union occurred in 1991, while apartheid in South Africa was formally abolished in 1994. The end of apartheid in South Africa was primarily attributed to a combination of domestic pressure, international sanctions, and negotiations, rather than the collapse of the Soviet Union alone.
Options (a) and (c) do not accurately reflect the direct impact of the Soviet Union's collapse on segregation in South Africa. The United Nations had been actively involved in opposing apartheid for several decades prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Similarly, the United States' involvement in the internal affairs of other countries is a complex issue and cannot be solely attributed to the decline of the Soviet Union.
Option (b) suggests that the decline of the Soviet Union led to a reduction in trade for South Africa, weakening the government and leading native South Africans to revolt. While it is true that international sanctions and divestment campaigns against South Africa's apartheid regime did increase during the 1980s, it would be oversimplified to directly attribute the decline of the Soviet Union as the main cause for the weakening of the South African government.
Option (d) suggests that the decline of the Soviet Union made Communism less of a threat, leading to the South African government loosening restrictions on anti-apartheid groups. This option aligns more closely with historical events. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent decline of communism worldwide did contribute to a shift in global dynamics. South Africa's government, particularly under President F.W. de Klerk, saw the diminishing threat of communism as an opportunity to engage in negotiations and bring about political reforms. This ultimately paved the way for the end of apartheid.
Therefore, option (d) is the most accurate choice among the given options, as it considers the broader geopolitical changes that occurred during the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, it's important to acknowledge that the end of apartheid was a complex and multifaceted process that involved various domestic and international factors beyond the decline of the Soviet Union.
