What is this? Fill in the blanks? Jeopardy? Oh, well, I'll give it a shot anyway.

The great Soviet Union was weakened by it's long war with Afghanistan, in addition to having spent itself into a corner with runaway military spending. Of course, as usual, there were probably a couple of hundred other things that contributed to the collapse.

The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe rapidly followed the fall of the great giant, the Soviet Union. With their giant benefactor no longer able to offer them financial and other support, the satellite communist bloc nations were left to fend for themselves. Most seem to have done alright for themselves, adapting to free democracy, while a few like Yugoslavia erupted into a boiling cauldron of ethnic hatred and internal fighting and bitter warfare that lasted the better part of the next decade.
