The Collapse of the Soviet Union The Soviet Union was a global superpower, possessing the largest armed forces on the planet with military bases from Angola in Africa, to Vietnam in South-East Asia, to Cuba in the Americas.

Although the Soviet Union and the United States were two nations that were rivals since the war known as the ¨cold war" they both managed to make history with some remarkable achievements.
