The Fall of the Soviet Union

Hello, Students!

Today, we will take a closer look at the fall of the Soviet Union and the iconic act involving the Berlin Wall.

Ronald Reagan believed that the economic struggles of the Soviet Union were signs of American success. Reagan wanted to work with Gorbachev to implement reforms in his country. Reagan wanted to end the cold war with the Soviet Union.

Nearly fifty years after the Cold War began, the nations under Soviet control began to dismantle their Communist governments. Economic and social reforms were occurring within the Soviet Union through the leadership of their leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. He had begun to increase personal freedoms and provide more economic opportunities to Soviet citizens.
