What was cold war and how it happened?
How did the Cold War end?
The Cold War officially ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Soviet economy had been struggling for years, and in 1985, a reform-minded leader named Mikhail Gorbachev took power. He implemented policies of glasnost and perestroika, which allowed greater political openness and economic reform within the Soviet Union. However, these changes also led to greater public demands for democracy and independence, which eventually led to the breakup of the Soviet Union.
