Collapse of Communism

Communism collapsed in Eastern Europe and the USSR basically because communism wasn’t being as effective for them. They began to run out of money and it just getting worse. People tore down the Berlin Wall because they were upset that they weren't able to go to the other side of Germany. It was completely blocked because East Germany believed in communism and West Germany did not. Well for 28 years, no one was able to cross the border. Those who attempted were shot and other harsh treatments. After the countries had their own independence, prices increase from shock remedy where the government doesn't involve with the economy. Therefore people started getting higher paying jobs. The end of communism in the Soviet Union helped the world to feel more relaxed because they wouldn't have to fear that they would attack those who weren't communists. They were no longer isolating themselves anymore. And now, the Soviet Union turned to republicans as a result.
