In order to win hegemony, the Soviet Union developed nuclear weapons during the Cold War. Stimulate the Soviet Union to strengthen military equipment: for example, the number of service personnel of the Soviet first-class large cruiser "Chara Class Cruiser" reached a record high. It stimulated the Soviet Union's exploration of outer space and made space technology hit a record high: in order to compete with the United States for the possession of outer space, the Soviet Union also stepped up the development of spacecraft, which could reach the moon and Mars as far as possible.

2, dragged down the Soviet economy.

During the cold war, in the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was inferior to the United States in many aspects. Its economy is not as developed as the United States, its scientific and technological level is not as good as others, and its political level is even worse. Even so, the Soviet Union decided to go to war with the United States.

The United States has become the only superpower in the world, and the world pattern has become "one superpower and many powers" in the process of world multipolarization.
