The Soviet Union no longer provided aid and weapons to African countries
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Estonia (on the Gulf of Finland) became an independent state.
One significant factor that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union was the economic stagnation experienced during the 1980s. The centrally planned economy struggled with inefficiencies, declining productivity, and a lack of innovation, leading to shortages of goods and rising public discontent. Additionally, the policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) initiated by Mikhail Gorbachev inadvertently weakened the Communist Party's control and sparked demands for greater political freedom and independence among various Soviet republics.
Finland fought on the side of the axis powers(allied with Germany) against the Soviet Union.They did this to regain the territory that they lost to the Soviets during there invasion of Finland in 1939.Finland supplied a all volinteer division to the German SS during the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941,and also invaded the Soviet union itself to reestablish its original borders with Russia that were established after World war I.The Finnish goverment fought 3 different wars with the Soviet Union between 1939-1944.

While President Reagan's defense spending increases in the 1980s contributed to the economic strain on the Soviet Union, the collapse was primarily due to a combination of internal factors, including economic stagnation, political corruption, and a lack of reform. Additionally, the policies of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, such as glasnost and perestroika, aimed at reforming the system, ultimately exposed its weaknesses. Therefore, while Reagan's military buildup played a role, it was not the sole cause of the Soviet Union's collapse.
Germany's unification led to the collapse of the Soviet union.
It started with Ronald Reagan but truly happened under George H. W. Bush.

Ronald Reagan put tremendous pressure on the Soviet Union by dramatically increasing America's defense budget which the Soviet couldn't match. George H.W. Bush is the President that saw the actual collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries.
