The end of Soviet domination over Eastern Europe was primarily driven by the weakening of the Soviet Union itself, marked by economic stagnation and political unrest. The rise of reformist leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev, who introduced policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), encouraged calls for independence and reform across Eastern Europe. Additionally, widespread popular movements and protests in countries such as Poland and East Germany galvanized demands for democratic change, ultimately leading to the collapse of communist regimes in the region. This combination of internal pressures and the diminishing influence of the Soviet Union facilitated the transition to democracy in Eastern Europe.
