Описание:

Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is a significant event because it led to the collapse of Soviet Style communism. The war put immense stresses on the faulty, centralized economic system of the nation, and along with the radical social reforms set by Mikhail Gorbachev, led to the collapse of the nation. This war would be known as the equivalent to the Vietnam War for the United States, both in economic stresses brought upon by the war, and by the social discontent that it caused. USSR spend a lot of money because they were trying to maintain communist regime but the US was helping the Afghan Mujahideen with weapons and it makes it harder for the USSR because they don't have a lot of support system.
