How did the fall of the soviet union affect cuba’s economy?
a.)cuba’s economy became stronger
b.)cuba’s economy weakened.
c.)cuba became the world’s strongest economy.
d.)cuba became dependent on the united states.

The correct answer is - B.) Cuba's economy weakened.

After the Soviet Union fell apart, the economy of Cuba weakened as a result. This was due to the fact that the Soviet Union was their greatest friend, their protector, their biggest trade partner, and also their sponsor in lots of departments. After the Soviet Union fell apart Russia was broke and was barely managing to not lose even more territory and there was poverty all over the country, so they were not able to support Cuba as they did until then. As a result Cuba's economy diminished and the population of the country felt the effects on its skin with the ever growing unemployment, lower wages, and even shortages of food.
