The Soviet Union collapsed during the Cold War for several reasons. One reason is that the Soviet economy was struggling. The government controlled all industries and resources, which led to inefficiency and a lack of innovation. Additionally, the Soviet Union's military spending was very high, which put a strain on the economy. Another reason for the collapse was a loss of faith in the Communist Party. People were unhappy with the government's control over their lives and the lack of personal freedoms. Lastly, the Soviet Union faced many internal conflicts and tensions among its diverse population. People from different ethnic groups and regions wanted more autonomy and self-determination. Overall, these factors contributed to the downfall of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
