Question

the diversion of these two rivers made it possible for the soviet union to grow cotton in the desert. What rivers ?

Answer 1

The two rivers that made it possible for the Soviet Union to grow cotton in the desert were the Amu Darya and Syr Darya. The diversion of these two rivers enabled the Soviets to irrigate the Aral Sea region, creating vast tracts of land suitable for cotton production. The result was a major increase in the agricultural output of the Soviet Union.
