Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev played pivotal roles in ending the Cold War through their willingness to engage in dialogue and pursue arms reduction. Reagan initially took a hardline stance against the Soviet Union but later shifted towards diplomacy, culminating in several arms control agreements. Gorbachev introduced reforms like glasnost and perestroika, which aimed to open up the Soviet Union domestically and reduce tensions internationally. Their collaboration in the late 1980s helped to ease hostilities and ultimately led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
