Collapse of Communism


The Collapse of the Communism was such a negative turning point because the Berlin wall had come crashing down, the cold war that had been going on for a while had ended. Everything was getting more complicated, for example people were not allowed to cross the border Communist East Germany to Democratic West Germany or Democratic West Germany to Communist East Germany. The Soviet Union had also separated into 15 different Republics. The 15 different Republics were Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Lativa, Lithuania, Moldova, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. And no longer was the Soviet Flag with a red hammer, it had been changed into many different flags. The collapse of the Soviet Union changed the world because when capitalism came to Russia and the countries split up. During this split people started to think more about themselves. No longer farming was a high paying job.
