At its peak, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics stood as a global superpower stretching from Eastern Europe to the Pacific, rivaling the United States in military strength, space exploration, and ideological influence. From launching the first satellite, Sputnik 1, to planting its flag across half of Europe after World War II, the USSR symbolized industrial might, scientific ambition, and communist expansion at an unprecedented scale. But behind the iron curtain, cracks were forming. A stagnant planned economy, costly arms race pressures during the Cold War, political repression, and growing nationalist movements within its republics slowly eroded its foundation. Reforms like glasnost and perestroika under Mikhail Gorbachev aimed to revive the system but instead accelerated its unraveling. In 1991, the superpower that once divided the world into two camps dissolved into history, proving that even the mightiest empires can collapse from within. #ussr #geopolitica #worldfacts
