Collapse of Communism

There are many reasons for the collapse of Communism. Many say that it's economics and military system could never stabalize. Gorbacev was the new Communist leader. He decided to open the Soviet Union for more trade and tried to reconstruct the Soviet Union. This ended up with the collaspe of the conomy due to many communist countries abandoning dictators and adopting democratic movements. This was a major turning point in history. the Berlin Wall was finally took down and East and West Germany once again joined both economically and politically. Jobs such as farming were no longer high paying jobs and people had to start doing more modern jobs. This also ended the Cold War because the fall of Communism ment there was no longer a threat that war will start between the Soviet Union and the United States. This was a relief and a time to celebrate for many Americans.
