The Cold War ended through a combination of Soviet economic weakness, political reform under Mikhail Gorbachev, popular movements across Eastern Europe, and improving U.S.–Soviet relations. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 symbolized the end of a rivalry that had shaped American foreign policy for more than four decades.
With its main global rival gone, the United States entered the 1990s as the world’s dominant superpower. The Gulf War seemed to confirm its unmatched military strength, while American economic, technological, and cultural influence expanded rapidly.
But victory created new questions. Without the Soviet Union as a clear opponent, America now had to decide how to use its power, how much responsibility it should take for global conflicts, and what leadership should mean in a world no longer divided between two superpowers.
