The Collapse Of Communsim

The cause of communism is that people weren't happy the way government control them and that even if they worked harder then the other person next to them they all got paid the same. The economy rapidly decreased and numbers of population as so. Everyone gets the same amount of. money, and every one had to wear clothes from one brand, which some people didn't like. In 1989 and 1991, is when it was led to the fall of communist regimes in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. In the fall of 1989, led to the end of the Berlin wall and the unification of East and West germany. The USSR collapse on Stalin's cause, he invested no money on these countries only on the weapons. Berlin was seperated to East and West, people tore it down because their were two systems. After the collapse of one country all of the other countries that were run by communism turned in to capitalist country.
