Which effect did the collapse of the soviet union have on the united states? the united states forced all other communist nations to collapse. the united states became a close ally of russia. the united states became the sole superpower in the world. the united states stopped trying to prevent the spread of communism.

Soviet Union came into being after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1918's under the leadership of Lenin. The rule by Czar was overthrown and new govt headed by Lenin was established.

The Cold war began right after Second World War, when the rule of one and only HITLER came to an end. In 1945, U.S.A attacked Japan, and this was it's way of declaring itself as the Superpower, but it was countered by USSR,and there starting The Cold War. Cuba Missile Crisis is one such example,followed by dilaouge exchange and other tensions. But right after the disintegration of USSR in december 1991, when under the leadership of Boris Yelstin, Russia, Ukarine, and Belarus declared that the soviet union was disbanded.

This ended the struggle for power, and making USA the ultimate superpower, and making ways for a bigger HEGEMONY.
