The Soviet Union was a superpower established in the last century, a country that occupied an important position in world history. However, with the arrival of 1991, the Soviet Union successfully disintegrated at the hands of Gorbachev . So which country benefited the most after the disintegration?
Soviet collapse means that the country that can be on par with the United States no longer exists. In our perception, we must believe that the collapse of the United States must have benefited the most, but it is not. Why do you say that?
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing government entered semi-colonial semi-feudal society. It was bullied by Western powers and could not resist. The Qing government, which could only sell its country's territory and other powers through unequal treaties and preserved its walking dead body.
Among the great powers at that time, the country that occupied the most territory of our country was our northern neighbor Tsarist Russia . Since 1860, Tsarist Russia has repeatedly sent troops to invade China's territory. In the past few decades, Tsarist Russia has occupied more than 1.5 million square kilometers of Chinese territory through armed occupation, coercion and inducement, which is insatiable. Over time, although Tsarist Russia became the Soviet Union later through revolution, and the Soviet Union became the world's first socialist country, , there was no intention of returning it to them that they had seized our territory.
Although our country's economy and military strength were backward at that time, and we had no way to argue with the Soviet Union and wanted to return the territory we lost, but later after the founding of New China in , we made a request to return the territory to the Soviet Union, but they were all rejected by the Soviet Union. This is not the end. After Khrushchev came to power, the Soviet Union began to crack down on restricting China's development, making China wander on the brink of poverty. However, the people of New China are not so easy to bully. They still made atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb , and even sent artificial satellite to space.
Since then, we in China have not thought of relying on anyone anymore, but have developed our own development. Time came in 1991, when the Soviet Union, which once hindered China's development, disintegrated, and the giant who once competed with the superpower of the United States fell. As a socialist country, we are very sad about the disintegration of plastic, but when we think about what they have done, we don’t think he is very pitiful. After all, the collapse of the Soviet Union also has certain benefits for us.
First of all, the disintegration of the Soviet Union has greatly reduced the military pressure in our northern China.
We all know that since the Sino-Soviet conflict, the Soviet Union has never had any good feelings for China, and until it disintegrated, it was hostile to China. The disintegrated Soviet Union made our country's pressure drop sharply when facing the north. After all, Russia is no longer a superpower now, and it is impossible to compete for hegemony with the United States. With its own abilities, it will never find two strong opponents, just fight two!
Secondly, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, my country reclaimed nearly 4,000 square kilometers of land.
The collapse of the Soviet Union directly caused our country to have three more neighbors on land. These three countries are the three countries of Central Asia, Kazakhstan , Tajikistan , and Kyrgyzstan . After negotiations with them, the three countries returned the territory that was once occupied by Tsarist Russia. Although there were not many, it totaled more than 3,600 square kilometers. In fact, this is already the result of our strong national strength. If they were asked to spit out all the territory that had previously occupied our country, it would be no different from destroying a country. The three Central Asian countries would definitely not be willing. So such a result is the best result.
plus Russia later returned Heixiazi Island and Fushun Delta to China, and its land area is 4,000 square kilometers.
Finally, the disintegration of the Soviet Union created a good environment for our China's development.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, our country's strategic space can be greatly extended, and Central Asia has also become a strategic buffer for us and Russia.With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union also ended, and world stability became mainstream thought, which later changed to world peace. It is under the change of thought that our country has more opportunities and energy to carry out economic development. After 40 years of golden development, our country has become a world power.
So, if the collapse of the Soviet Union, China is the country that benefits the most. After all, the golden development period of 40 years is hard-won.
