"Collapse Of Communism"

Communism collapsed because communism wasn't working well, especially with economy. This was the problem for both the USSR and Eastern Europe. These countries started to run out of money. The reason that the people tore down the Berlin Wall, was because they were bounded to one part of Germany. The Berlin Wall would separate Germany into two. East germany was communist, while West Germany was democratic. The Berlin Wall stoped people from crossing the border for 28 years. The people who did attempt to cross were killed by a shot or were killed with gas. After the countries got their independence, people were getting higher paying jobs because the government didnt have their hand in the economy. Then when the USSR was dissolved, relationships between countries were cooled off. No one had to fear that the Soviet Union would attack their country because they weren't communist any more.
