THE END OF THE COLD WAR Main Idea: President George Bush’s foreign policy commanded broad support BUT his domestic agenda did not

George Bush Takes Office His Resume…. 1940s Navy pilot During the 70s Bush was an ambassador to the UN & was the 1st diplomatic envoy to the People’s Republic of China From ’76-’77 he headed the CIA ’81-’89 Vice President to Reagan Reagan leaves office – Americans wanted a continuation of his domestic policies (low taxes + little gov’t action)

George Bush Takes Office Republican nomination: George Bush - “Read my lips: No new taxes!” - Continued Reagan’s domestic policies Democratic nomination: Michael Dukakis - Pushed to help minorities & the poor - Liberal Bush wins the election of ’88 (against Dukakis) on his platform of foreign policy. 54% of the popular vote

The Cold War Ends Gorbachev’s Reforms Bush continued Reagan’s policy of cooperation with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev The Soviet’s economy was struggling from a lack of planning/ $$ spent on arms Gorby ordered a PERESTROIKA: restructuring of the economy & allowed some private enterprise & profit-making He also called for GLASNOST: openness allowing more freedom of religion & speech, allowing people to discuss politics openly

Revolution in Eastern Europe Glasnost was now spreading as an ideology throughout Eastern Europe In 1989 peaceful revolutions replaced Communist rulers with democratic gov’ts in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania & Bulgaria

Revolution in Eastern Europe Soon glasnost spread to E. Germany Midnight: November 9, 1989 guards at the Berlin Wall opened the gates Bulldozers leveled the symbol of Communist repression & within 1 year, East & West Germany reunited

The Soviet Union Collapses Gorbachev faced a ton of criticism from opponents/ traditionalists at home August 1991 – a group of Communist officials/ army officers staged a coup: overthrow of the gov’t & arrested Gorbachev, sending troops into Moscow

The Soviet Union Collapses In Moscow, Russian president Boris Yeltsin pushed back these troops & was supported by Bush & the U.S., collapsing the coup. Gorbachev returned to Moscow. All 15 Soviet republics declared their independence from the Soviet Union!!! Yeltsin outlaws the Communist Party in Russia December 1991 = the end of the Soviet Union
