Which was the main cause of the break up of USSR (Soviet Union) ?
Answer: A
The key's answer is Economy.
By the 1980s the Soviet command economy was stagnating: growth had stalled, consumer goods were scarce, and heavy defence spending in the arms race with the United States absorbed resources. Falling oil prices cut export earnings, and Gorbachev's reforms (perestroika) loosened central control without creating a working market, deepening the crisis that led to the collapse of 1991.
Nationalist movements in the republics did hasten the end, but most accounts treat economic failure as the main underlying cause. There was no general insurgency or militancy across the Soviet Union, so those options are weaker, and cultural differences alone had existed for decades without breaking the state.
