Answers
Answer:
The Cold War came to an end with the collapse of Communist parties rule in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The Non-Aligned Movement also had a note in the process that brought the Cold War finally to end.
Answer:
The following factors were responsible for the end of the Cold War:
1. The Soviet Union adopted the policy of opening up its economy which loosened the state control.
2. Mikhail Gorbachev’s policy of Perestroika (Restructuring) and Glasnost (Openness) reduced state control on media that led to important political and economic changes on democratic lines.
3. Since the East European countries under the influence of the Soviet Union adopted the capitalist and democratic paths, it led to a change of regimes in those nations.
4. Ultimately, the Soviet Union disintegrated and several new nations emerged out of the old bloc, Russia being the largest.
