The Cold War ended due to a combination of factors, including the economic struggles faced by the Soviet Union, which were exacerbated by its arms race with the West and a stagnant economy. The rise of reformist leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev, who implemented policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), also played a crucial role in reducing tensions. Additionally, the failure of communist regimes in Eastern Europe, leading to a wave of democratization, further weakened Soviet influence and contributed to the eventual dissolution of the USSR in 1991, marking the end of the Cold War.
