[QUOTE="PeR, post: 3263262, member: 142760"] The USSR collapsed because the USA bankrupted them in an arms race and space race where they couldn't keep up. It was still driven by external forces, indeed, external militaries, even though bullets weren't flying. Also, while it's good that the USSR changed without bullets flying, that doesn't always happen. It's true that the Allies didn't fight WWII for the express purpose of ending the Holocaust, but at the end of the day, the Holocaust wouldn't have stopped without external military intervention. The Holocaust was picking up steam with no signs of stopping when Germany collapsed; it wasn't tapering off. One in three Jews worldwide was murdered in a five-year period. Seriously, the world Jewish population went down 33% in five years. Who knows what Nazi Germany could have done in another five years? [/QUOTE]
