Gorbachev’s efforts to open up the USSR’s economy appeared to be floundering. In 1989, the Communist governments in one Eastern European country after another simply collapsed, after it became clear that Russian troops would not be sent to prop them up. In mid-1991, hardliners attempted a coup d’état, only to be foiled by Gorbachev rival Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian republic. At the end of that year, Yeltsin, now dominant, forced the dissolution of the Soviet Union.  \nThe Bush administration adeptly brokered the end of the Cold War, working closely with Gorbachev  \nand Yeltsin. It led the negotiations that brought the unification of East and West Germany (September 1990), agreement on large arms reductions in Europe (November 1990), and large cuts in nuclear arsenals (July 1991) . After the liquidation of the Soviet Union, the United States and the new Russian Federation agreed to phase out all multiple-warhead missiles over a 10-year period.  \nThe disposal of nuclear materials and the everpresent concerns of nuclear proliferation now superseded the threat of nuclear conflict between Washington and Moscow.  \nDirections: Read the passage above, then answer the questions below.  \n1. What was happening in Eastern Europe in 1989?  \n2. Who was Boris Yeltsin?  \n3. What country was reunited in September of 1990?  \n4. What superseded the threat of nuclear conflict following the collapse of the Soviet Union?  \nText courtesy of the U.S. State Department, Bureau of International Information Programs, 2005  \n© Sttudenudent Handouts, Inc . www.studenthandouts.com","cbCaiafD51M7ECHl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiafD51M7ECHl","pdf",212291,"English","# The Collapse of the Soviet Empire\n## Diplomatic Milestones and Nuclear Disarmament\n# Review Questions","[{\"question\":\"What was happening in Eastern Europe in 1989?\",\"answer\":\"Communist governments across Eastern Europe collapsed after it became clear that Russian troops would not intervene to support them.\"},{\"question\":\"Who was Boris Yeltsin?\",\"answer\":\"Boris Yeltsin was the president of the Russian republic, a rival to Gorbachev, and the figure who forced the dissolution of the Soviet Union.\"},{\"question\":\"What country was reunited in September of 1990?\",\"answer\":\"East and West Germany were reunited in September 1990.\"},{\"question\":\"What superseded the threat of nuclear conflict following the collapse of the Soviet Union?\",\"answer\":\"The disposal of nuclear materials and concerns regarding nuclear proliferation superseded the direct threat of nuclear conflict between Washington and Moscow.\"}]","End to the Cold War - Educational Review | PDF",1792383313]
