Explanation:

The Soviet - Afghan War (1979 - 1989) led to huge expenses for the Soviet Union. Later, in the late 1980s, the Soviet Union did not use military force to stop protests in Eastern Europe. These events, along with the fear of rapid changes among Soviet citizens, contributed to the breakup. The correct order is the crisis in Afghanistan first, then huge expenses, then not using military force to stop protests in Eastern Europe, and finally, many Soviets fearing rapid changes.

Answer:

I. The crisis in Afghanistan occurred.
II. The Soviet Union faced huge expenses.
III. Military force was not used to stop protests in Eastern Europe.
IV. Many Soviets became fearful of rapid changes in the country.
