The End of the Cold War

The Soviet Union Declines Stalin, Khrushchev, and Brezhnev struck down attempts at independence Economy stagnates – produce unwanted goods; no money to keep up in defense spending “Vietnam” in Afghanistan – modernizers vs. Muslim conservatives (mujahedin)

Gorbachev – comes to power in 1985; wanted reform; glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring); all reforms led to collapse End of an empire – By 1991 – Baltic states gained independence and 12 independent nations are formed

Changes Transform Eastern Europe Hungary – start with economic reforms then allow greater freedoms Poland – Solidarity movement (independent labor union) East Germany – not willing to change, but looking for ways to get to the West

Czechoslovakia – 1992 splits into 2; Slovakia and Czech Republic 1989 – Wall comes down and elections take place

Communism Declines Around the World China – reform the economy but not politics Vietnam - relations with US and tourism North Korea – Isolation Cuba – economy deteriorated

US as Sole Superpower With fall of Soviet Union, United States is left as the one with the military power Should we be “the world’s policeman”? Mixed reaction – do we protect freedom or scare people?
