Why did the Cold War end in 1990?
From 1947 the U.S.A and the U.S.S.R were involved in a cold war largely the result of conflicting ideologies and immensely different ways of life.
However, in 1990 the Cold war ended and the threat of a hot war was no longer present between the two countries. This conflict ended after nearly half a century with Gorbachev and President Bush both agreeing to end the antagonism between the two countries.
Although the conflict never became a hot war and, therefore, the cost of the war was not as draining as if it had been, there were still a great deal of expense for both countries. Instead of competing militarily the main aim of the war became trying to prove to the other country that it was stronger through it's technological advances and size if it's militia.
