Using the notes below, answer the following blog question on the end of communism: "To what extent did the USA win the Cold War through economics?" During the 1980s arm race the USSR was fighting with the US. The US always had more money because of there capitalist nature. So America could spend more money on incredible impossible seeming weapons. Such as missiles controlled my computers that could be guided. Or the extravagant "Star Wars" laser nuclear defence system. The USSR was left in the economic dust trying to keep up with all these very very expensive projects. The USSR was communist and could not keep up with this spending of money, for they did not make as much money as the US. So could not keep up with the spending and became bankrupt.
