The post cold war era

The post cold war era brought about instability compared to cold war era. Explain

Hello! The reason for the instability is that when the Soviet Union was alive and weel (During the Cold War), even though countries were dominated by the communists, they had the structure, rules, and police force to keep everything in synch. When the Cold war ended and the Soviet Union broke up into individual countries, those countries weren't prepared nor educated to take over operations of their country. They had no monetary system of their own, no central government to create a constitution, nor form a proper government. To make matters worse, they had no organized elections or a system to use for it, and they had so many poeple who thought THEY should be the ones to run the country. It was an absolute mess, and in some ways it still is. So, no election system no police force, no organized government ready to take over once the Soviet Union folded, no monetary system. all resulted in things running amuck. I hope this helps! Take Care! Don

what were the structure, rules and policies that kept them in synch ?

You ask any romanian or Ukranian, or Lithuanian, if they want communist rule again, and I know what the answer would be. Do you know How Grateful these peopl are? They can Worship. They can Buy and sell, they can own businesses, they can leave. . . They had chaos in the same respects that this country had chaos when we were still a colony.

I bet your teacher is telling you that without Communism everything goes to crap! Jesus, what is this world coming to.

but isn't it because of communism that these countries became poor? (cold war era)
