Fall of the Soviet Union. In December of 1991, as the world watched in amazement, the Soviet Union disintegrated into fifteen separate countries. Its collapse was hailed by the west as a victory for freedom, a triumph of democracy over totalitarianism, and evidence of the superiority of capitalism over socialism.
The events that helped the Allies win the war in Europe were:
-the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad
The Battle of Stalingrad was a combat between the Red Army of the Soviet Union and the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany and its allies for the control of the Soviet city of Stalingrad, current Volgograd, between August 23, 1942 and February 2, 1943.

The serious defeat of Nazi Germany and its allies in this city meant a key point of severe inflection in the final results of the war and represents the beginning of the end of Nazism in Europe, as the Wehrmacht would never regain its previous strength nor would obtain more strategic victories in the Eastern Front.

Enlightenment thinkers and philosophers such as Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, Baron of Montesquieu, or John Locke, developed interesting concepts about government and citizen rights that years later influenced important revolutionary movements as was the case of the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and the Independence Movement of México.
