Answer 2

Answer:

The breakup of the Soviet Union ended the Cold War.

Explanation:

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

The disintegration of the Soviet Union is clearly related to the context that emerged after the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of other countries in the Eastern bloc such as the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
