Answer 1

Answer:

D: The cold war ended with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991

Explanation:

The dissolution of the Soviet Union or the dissolution of the USSR was the disintegration of federal political structures and the central government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which culminated in the independence of the fifteen Republics of the Soviet Union between the March 11, 1990 and December 25, 1991.

In short, in 1991 the Soviet Union, which was the superpower of the socialist bloc, collapsed economically and territorially due to the reforms (Perestroika) carried out by Mikhail Gorbachev in view of the economic collapse of the Soviet Union which consisted of passing quickly from a planned socialist economy to become a free-market economy similar to China, which was opposed by the more conservative part of the Communist Party. This rapid transition attempt provoked the dislocation of the entire industrial and agricultural fabric of the USSR, the country was virtually paralyzed, inflation soared and poverty increased and the ensuing social protests were channeled through nationalism.

Hope this helps!
