Answer 1

The fall of apartheid in 1994 could be best explained because of **the collapse of the Soviet Union helped topple Apartheid because there was no longer a threat of communism and the USA had no reason to continue supporting the South African government**.

This collapse shifted the geopolitical landscape, reducing the justification for Western support of the apartheid regime and increasing the global momentum toward promoting democracy and human rights, which ultimately played a significant role in the transition to a democratic South Africa.
