Created from the Russian empire in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union was the largest country in the world. It comprised fifteen republics: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the three Baltic states Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (annexed in 1940). After the Second World War, the Soviet Union emerged as a superpower in rivalry with the US, leading to the Cold War.
