Communism collapsed in Eastern Europe and the USSR because communism wasn't working out for them. They began to run out of money. People tore down the Berlin Wall because they were startled that they weren't able to go to the other side of Germany. It was completely blocked because East Germany believed in communism and West Germany didn't. For 28 years, no one was able to cross the border. Those who attempted were shot and faced tear gas. After the countries had their own independence, prices soared from shock therapy where the government doesn't involve with the economy. People started getting higher - paying jobs. The end of communism in the Soviet Union helped the world to feel more relaxed because they wouldn't have to fear that they would attack those who weren't communists. They weren't isolating themselves anymore. Now, the Soviet Union turned to republicans.
