Book: World Civilizations Volume II Eighth Edition Year 2018 By Philip J. Adler and Randall L. Pouwels

This comprehensive essay asks you to pull together information from your class reading with page numbers. I'm submitting between four to five pages of information. Nothing will be word for word what anyone says.

The collapse of the Soviet Union, disintegration of the Soviet Bloc, and end of the Cold War changed world power dynamics. Your text notes that "Politicians and historians sometimes assert that the fall of communism in Russia and Eastern Europe was a sudden event brought on by policies enacted by US President Ronald Reagan." Evaluate this claim as you explain the collapse of the Soviet Union. Have the countries of the former Soviet Bloc had an "easy" transition? What has the impact been on the Soviet Union's former allies across the globe? How have world power dynamics changed now that there are no longer two competing superpowers?

Be very careful not to be too general. Your essay must utilize specific examples of people/places/events as part of your discussion.
