The United States caused the collapse of the Soviet Union.

REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the United States caused the collapse of the Soviet Union?

No. A Wikipedia overview attributes the Soviet collapse to multiple factors including economic stagnation, the arms race, ethnic nationalism and Gorbachev's reforms, and a peer-reviewed paper attributes it principally to internal factors plus broad Western containment. Neither supports the claim that the United States caused the collapse.
