The empire collapsed because they had archaic technology at a time when rapid technological change was essential. Computers, telecommunications, and falling energy prices took down the Soviets. Saying the three Western Leaders did it is like saying Obama lowered the sea level. :roll:
interesting. I didn't know that. I mean it makse sense they were behind in tech, but I had though it was internal divisions
or human rights, or simple centrifical forces that split the Empire.' (as empire tend to dissolve by nationalism)
I'd like to read about this, do you have any source(s) I could look at? Or is this your general knowledge?
