a historian is making a historical argument about the cold
war. he points out that the soviet union's economy was
extremely weak by the late 20th century. he also notes that
the soviet union had failed in its attempt to invade and
control afghanistan in the 1970s and 1980s. finally, he
explains that leaders such as lech walesa had led
increasingly successful protests against soviet rule
throughout the cold war. based on this information, he
concludes that the soviet union would have collapsed on
its own, regardless of u.s. foreign policy during the cold
war.

a. lech walesa was an important leader who weakened the soviet
union
b. the soviet union failed in its invasion of afghanistan in the late
20th century.
c. the soviet economy was extremely weak by the end of the 20th
