14. In this author's opinion, the collapse of the Soviet Union was due to Gorbachev's inability to prevent the independence of three states of the Baltic Sea, including Latvia, by military resolution. It was Soviet political systems, not the arms race, that caused the collapse of the Soviet Union. The United States and Korea both have been involved in the arms races in no smaller scale than the Soviet during the Cold War, and these nations did not collapse. Therefore, attributing the collapse of the Soviet Union to arms races lacks of sufficient scientific validation.
