What is the impact of the disintegration of the Soviet Union?

199 1 At the end of the year, Yeltsin signed a contract with the presidents of Belarus and Ukraine in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, to establish the Commonwealth of Independent States, replacing the Soviet Union with a structure similar to the Commonwealth of Independent States. Other Soviet countries responded one after another, leaving the Soviet Union, which had existed in name only at this time. This news undoubtedly brought a huge earthquake to the world, which marked the fall of one era and the opening of another. The disintegration of the Soviet Union brought tsunami-like changes to the world, making the world situation completely different in an instant. The impact of the disintegration of the Soviet Union is as follows:

First, affect the United States:

The protracted confrontation and hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union have made both sides make rapid progress, but at the same time they are scarred. The infighting and mutual containment of the two masters curbed the excessive actions of either side. Now that the Soviet Union has disintegrated and the American authorities have ascended the throne, pent-up feelings will naturally erupt. Without the threat of the Soviet Union, the dual world was finally destroyed, forming a situation dominated by the old United States. The weak western countries have to follow the lead of the United States. Once a small socialist country was afraid of the powerful military power of the United States and could only be kind to it. The power of the United States penetrated the world overnight and became the real hegemon, standing at the top of the pyramid. The United States, which has achieved hegemony, has not wasted its time. Knowing that with the elimination of obstacles, its front should be bright and smooth, it seized the opportunity and stepped up its globalization strategy. ?

The United States first started from the Middle East. It reached alliances and signed agreements with several oil-producing rich households such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, which enabled the United States to monopolize the oil industry in the Middle East at predatory prices, provided a steady stream of oil energy for the country, and obtained enviable high profits. The United States manipulated NATO, supported the Kosovo war and intervened in a high-profile way, which was behind the Kosovo war. When the Soviet Union was overwhelmed, it was a surprising militarization. Since then, America's talons have further extended to Europe. ?

Although it is the best in the world, the more scheming United States does not want to implement the global strategy through naked invasion. Therefore, military threats, economic sanctions and other means have been repeatedly used, which is like a more advanced colonial action under heavy cover. It perfectly combines land occupation and economic search, making all countries in the world become its supply stations, which are gradually eroded invisibly. Some people say that the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union is the result of ideological differences. If this is the case, then after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States and Russia should join hands as friends. But in fact, the demise of the Soviet Union has worsened the relationship between the United States and Russia.

While wooing the oil-producing countries in the Middle East, the United States deliberately squeezed out Russia, which caused Russia's original large share of interests in the Middle East to suffer heavy losses. In other words, Russia's weak seats were squeezed out by the United States. The artillery fire of the Kosovo war seriously hurt Russia's great power status and great power self-esteem, making Russia completely lose its deterrent power in the situation, and at the same time facing military threats from neighboring small countries. Ukraine and other former countries colluded openly and secretly with the United States to challenge Russia's security. ?

Even though the Soviet Union has been greatly weakened, "Form and God are dead, but the shelf is still there". The rampant behavior of the United States has added fuel to the fire of US-Russia relations. Russia upgraded its weapons in all directions, updated its aircraft carrier, and resolutely withdrew from the Agreement on Conventional Arms in Europe, standing on the front line of confrontation with the United States. ?

Second, the influence of China:

China is a close neighbor of the Soviet Union and a member of the Eastern Group organized by the Soviet Union. It believes in socialism and is not easily dominated. It once followed the example of Soviet Russia and once quarreled with it. It is a special area between the United States and the Soviet Union. Therefore, when the changes in the Soviet Union shook the world's keen perception system for a long time, China was the nerve endings of foresight. ?

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia's national strength and energy are not what it used to be. China, which has been shrouded in the shadow of the Soviet Union, has completely mastered its independent sovereignty and no longer has to obey the Soviet Union's domination. Not only that, it made China more convinced that the highly centralized political and economic system was an absurd mistake, and made China's economy, which abolished this model but did not fully understand its mystery from the ideological level, fundamentally get rid of the shackles of Stalin's model and carry out a series of vigorous and large-scale reforms suited to its national conditions. Reform and opening up have become smoother and easier to implement, and China's economy can grow rapidly in an independent and normal environment. The disintegration of the Soviet Union confused China's road of full confidence in socialism, and questioned this social system that quickly died out between Europe and Asia. This problem not only plagues the top level of the central government, but also goes deep into the people. The student movement that broke out more than ten years ago is a good example.

However, after nearly ten years of exploration, China has found a road suitable for its own development, that is, building socialism with China characteristics. The disintegration of the Soviet Union and Russia brought about great changes in Eastern Europe. Vertically, there are few socialist countries on the earth. At this time, China, with a vast territory and struggling to rise, resolutely stepped onto the front line and shouldered the banner of socialism. And poor China, standing in the position of the Soviet Union, did not have the strength of the Soviet Union, and was often left out, attacked and rejected by western society, but the people of China were not defeated and became more and more brave. ?

During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States took the initiative to adopt a pro-China policy in order to contain the Soviet Union. Now that the Soviet Union has disappeared, China, which once followed the Soviet Union, has lost the value of being used by the United States, and Sino-US relations have fallen into a trough. What's more, the United States, which is still struggling in high spirits, suddenly lost its competitive goal and was disappointed, so it naturally listed China as the next imaginary enemy, which made Sino-US exchanges rigid. ?

Facing the Pacific Ocean, China is the strategic center of the core region of East Asia. Since Soviet capitalism, China must calm down and consider the surrounding situation. Without Russian intervention, the United States began to manipulate Asia unscrupulously. Among them, Taiwan Province Province is nothing more than its excellent dolls. Taiwan independence has never been so rampant. It shouted independence, and it repeatedly put pressure on the mainland. The government of China and the people of China constantly adjusted their political, military and foreign policies, and launched a massive anti-secession and anti-Taiwan independence struggle.

At the same time, ASEAN decided to be anti-China, and Viet Nam turned to the arms of the United States, always hating China. Not to mention Japan and South Korea. North Korea, as a socialist country, apparently turned to China for help with money and materials, but it has been entangled with the United States and clamored for overthrowing American imperialism. China seems to be surrounded by hostile forces and in a difficult situation, but the brave people of China have the ability to overcome all difficulties. ?

Third, it affects the rest of the world:

The fall of the giant Soviet Union attracted the attention of some powerful countries second only to it, and the world began to show a diversified development trend, that is, it felt the peaceful and stable spring warmth and was also hit by the north wind of war. Some Russian troops have been stationed in northern Japan for a long time, which makes Japan sleepless. At present, the Soviet Union has no time to send troops to intervene, while Japan faces less threat and less pressure in its actions. In addition, in response to the rise of China, the United States paid more attention to the strategic planning of Japan and frequently cooperated with Japan. So Japan took another express train, which not only upgraded its economy, but also sought the status of a political power with dignity and tended to look down on East Asia. ?

With the collapse of the Yalta system, Europe has taken on a new look. Russia, which is rapidly weakening, cannot suppress Europe's political and economic actions, and the United States, which consumed a lot in the long-term struggle with the Soviet Union, cannot supervise Europe. Europe has undoubtedly ushered in the second spring of fanatical development after Marshall Plan, so Europe eager to become stronger has accelerated the pace of reunification, and the number of EU members has increased day by day, completely getting rid of American manipulation and realizing economic and political autonomy. ?

The Asia-Pacific region is another rapidly developing star after Japan and Europe. Emerging countries that once wavered between the United States and the Soviet Union finally made clear their direction, devoted themselves to economic development, and formed a prosperous situation. For example, the rise of GDP in Thailand has greatly shocked the eyes of westerners. ?

The reason for the rapid development of the Asia-Pacific region is that the peaceful and stable situation plays a key role, and this kind of peace and stability comes from the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The dangerous situation of mutual jealousy and tension between the United States and the Soviet Union is gone forever. Without the confrontation between the two giants, there will be no arms race, and there will be no confrontation between two warships in the Pacific Ocean. The Asia-Pacific region sandwiched between the United States and the Soviet Union will finally get rid of the burning of gunpowder, showing a peaceful and stable climate, and the world trend will also tend to ease. This is really gratifying. As philosophy says, things are dialectical and unified, and there will always be opposition. Then the disintegration of the Soviet Union will bring peace to the world and increase the scale of unrest. ?

This is because the decline of the Soviet Union has loosened the armed forces that had previously succumbed to its power and dared not launch military operations, and enabled the United States to purchase and manipulate military forces and carry out the plan without worries. Moreover, the disintegration of the Soviet Union produced many derivatives, many accumulated regional conflicts, ethnic conflicts, religious disputes and so on. It has become deeper and sharper and has to be solved by force. This is a dispute caused by the imbalance of world military power after the imbalance of two-level confrontation. The world began to see a situation of "no major wars, no minor conflicts", and many regions were in a turbulent situation.

For example, the wars in the former Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are wars intertwined with social disputes and characterized by ethnic confrontation. The armed forces, originally influenced by the two major groups of the United States and the Soviet Union, finally ignited the war when the problem could not be adjusted. Then there are countries in the Middle East. Because of the intervention of the United States, the original order has been washed away again, and the war with the core purpose of competing for oil resources has intensified. As the energy dispute continues to heat up, water resources, ethnic issues and religious issues are becoming increasingly acute, and Iran's years of war is an eloquent proof.

Temptation is a characteristic of America. It keeps importing weapons and armaments to participating countries and makes a fortune. At the same time, it also made the Middle East realize that if we want to win this battle, we can't do without the advanced weapons and rich material support of the United States. Therefore, the Middle East countries that once joined forces to fight against the United States for oil have shown their kindness to the United States. Saddam Hussein, a former anti-American hero, became isolated. He persisted in resisting but eventually died in the recent Iraq war, as well as the famous Syrian war and the Gulf war.
